Dec 20, 2007Quickie Link: Planting the Flag: Canada's Gay Diaspora
By vanrozenheim
(Canada) - Half of Canada's same-sex couples live in just three fabulous cities: Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, according to Statistics Canada, 2007. Now, using StatsCan's flawed data on a flawed metric can only generate results of a limited use, but it's the best data that's available at the moment. And — what's more frightening — considering that the Gays-against-marriage backlash started in urban centres, it's at least possible that our best guesses actually underestimate the number of Gays that live in the big three. But Canada is big. Very big. And believe it or not, Canadian queer life beyond the major cities is thriving.
