Eric, the Roommate, is obsessed with numbers, statistics and city populations. He is always looking something up and he is an expert on cities around the world and their populations. Although he's straight he always has his eyes out for me, his rainbow-flavored best friend.
Eric, the Roommate was stunned to find that Orlando ranks between 9 and 10 on America's gayest city list. I was a little stunned too. Orlando? Like, Orlando, Orlando? I suppose it makes sense with Disney World and Tinkerbell and all that shit but, still, I just find it surprising.
Anyway, if you look up Gay Village on Wikipedia you'll find some really interesting statistics regarding the gays and our cities.

Just think about how many "actor, singer, dancers" work for Disney to get their big break. not to mention the behind the scenes graphic designers, etc. i.e. us art fags. I have been to several...shall we say..."get togethers" in Orlando. They usually turn out to be Disney bitch sessions.
