The Daily Politcs' Ben Smith takes note of a UCLA study on the residential locations of gays and lesbians in the United States: shockingly, New York City doesn't even make the top ten. (Ben theorizes that this is because of immigrants; maybe that Brooklyn judge was on to something after all.) And while certain pockets of Manhattan may still do okay on the gayometer, we can't help but be a little concerned: What with North Carolina billionaires offering economic plans based on draining us of all that glitters, we may be reaching a critical moment in this city's history: Deprive us of our gays and all we'll have left is Chipotles, Starbucks, and straight Jews. And nobody wants that. Any ideas how we can make sure they don't take our sunshines away?
