The gay epicenter is Midtown, anchored by Outwrite Books, a giant gay bookstore bucking the national trend—by staying in business! Atlanta guys are hunky, the ladies are gracious, the gay sports leagues are seriously well organized, and its housewives (and their gay BFFs, complete with handbags and heels) are now camp icons. And who doesn’t love the sweet lilt of a Georgia accent on a knockout guy or gal?

You really said it ALL Ms. Duchess. I have hung my hat in MANY places in my life and it didn't matter if I was alone or with someone special NO PLACE was ever able to compare. I know I am biased.... I'ma Georgia boy born and bred.
