wikipedia statistics? I've heard it rumored that lgbt make up 10% of the population.......(at least those who are openly lgbt, not counting closet ones)
but the 5 cities listed below, are the only 5 cities that have an lgbt population greater than 10%. Only 5 cities in the entire country are greater than the average (10%)? If 10% is the average, you'd think a lot more than 5 cities would be above average.

3 Atlanta 12.8% 39,805 12
4 Minneapolis 12.5% 34,295 16
5 Boston 12.3% 50,540 10
And look at these other cities: we're seeing an average of like 3%-4%.

So are these statistics wrong? They were provided by wikipedia (yes I know wikipedia's not a valid source but come on it's known to be accurate).
