Everyone calm down about Atlanta's fall from grace on The Advocate's Gayest Cities list
After being named America's Gayest City in 2010, Atlanta has dropped to number nine and Salt Lake City has been crowned number one

Back in the gay ol' days of 2010, The Advocate, the magazine with a homosexual agenda, named Atlanta the number one Gayest City in America. Oh, how proud we were! Remember how we called up our gay and lesbian friends in New York and San Francisco and rubbed it in their face? "We always told you Atlanta was super gay, but you didn't listen," we nagged. But now the GayTL has its 2(x)ist underwear in a wad: Atlanta has dropped to number nine, leaving Salt Lake City as number one.
I've never been to Salt Lake City, and while I've recently learned "Everyone's a Mormon," I just can't imagine that the capital of Utah is a gay utopia on par with Los Angeles or Chicago. Cultural wasteland of America Orlando came in at number two, and you'll never guess who beat Atlanta at number eight: Knoxville, Tenn. Listen, Knoxville is not suitable for anyone of any sexual orientation.
But it's Atlanta's accompanying blurb that really rubbed people the wrong way, specifically one preposterous line.
