Yeah, Austin's pretty gay. I mean, after ten years in San Francisco I'm certainly surprised that it didn't make the list, since gay culture is just so celebrated there and it makes it seem huge (which, in my opinion, it actually is). But Austin is very gay friendly in a different way -- more integrated, I think. There isn't really a gay district (I've wanted to move to a gayborhood, but I haven't found one), and there are only a few specifically gay bars, but there are plenty of gays here, who seem quite comfortable with their orientation, and I've yet to see any signs of discrimination against them, personally. It's just not a big deal. Can't imagine when Texas will allow them to marry, though.
