Isn’t That Fabtabular

You know what we never hear about in Berkeley? Diversity. It’s just not brought up enough. So when the gay Republicans…

Wait…what?

Yeah, gay Republicans.

No, stop it. You’re trying to trick me.

Nope. They exist.

Whoa…uh. Well then.

Anyway, the pink elephants came out of the closet to bestow a new honor on Berkeley: lesbian capital of California. Stats are after the jump.

Yeah. We can only dream.Top 10 Lesbian Index

Two things interesting about this poll.

1) Berkeley doesn’t even crack the top ten when it comes to males. It seems that equality between the sexes here only has to do with the different ways women are getting sex-either with another women, or a man. Inanimate objects are disqualified. Although we guess a woman could be counted in both directions, but we’ll rid ourselves of information asymmetry.
2) So who’s in the top ten for guys? It’s all about Hollywood baby! Not terribly surprising, considering it’s the only place for a gay person to be employed, be in the majority, and make tons of money. And to let some of them filter back into the Log Cabin Republicans. To write polls like these. Man we’re smart.
