The most productive members of society IMO. And who else could have conquered the Achaemenid Empire, given western civilization the High Renaissance or laid the philosophical underpinnings of the Scientific Revolution? Alan Turing (PBUH) died so people could bash teh gheys on computing devices.

Vanderbilt economists linked self-reported sexual orientation with earnings for employed US adults in the 2013-15 National Health Interview Surveys. They found that gay men made, on average, 10% more than similarly employed straight men. The difference in pay persisted even when they controlled for a variety of factors.

In 2016, the U.S. Treasury department revealed that same-sex male couples have an average household income of $176,000 - roughly $63,000 more than opposite-sex couples - confirming that there is some truth to the age-old myth that gays, particularly white cisgender men, have disposable income.
* Same-sex married men with children have average earnings of $275,000, more than double that of heterosexual and same-sex female couples. The combined buying power (DPI) of the U.S. lesbian, gay, and bisexual adult population was estimated at $987 billion in a 2017 projection by Witeck Communications.

Amazing but true: Boston researchers determined that gay women were more than twice as likely as straight women to be obese, while gay men were 50 percent less likely to be obese compared to their heterosexual counterparts, according to a report published in the American Journal of Public Health.
It's not that big of a deal.

New research from the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law finds that an estimated 114,000 same-sex couples in the United States are raising children. According to the study, over 68% of same-sex couples who are raising children have biological children.
WeHo or Palm Springs (the entire city council is LGB) probably a better option for that. There's too many trannies in Frisco and
something like 88% of cis homos aren't interested in fucking or dating them. Another problem with all this civil rights stuff in recent years is that a bunch of straight people have been moving into gayborhoods all over the country and exclusive spaces have gradually been disappearing.
