Summary: Outstanding overview of gay demographics
Comment: This book is amazing! It's content and presentation are both truly wonderful. Between the brilliant statistical slicing and dicing of the census data (thanks to Dr. Gates) and the wonderful and insightful maps and charts (thanks to Mr. Ost), this book really hits home. It gives a lay-person (straight or gay) the ability to understand where the gay and lesbian communities are, where the gay couples with kids are, where the gay seniors are, and so on. The text is surprisingly easy to read and understand (only surprising in that the topic and technical details have the potential to be intolerably dry). The authors cut no corners in making the data approachable and understandable and at the same time applicable and accurate--a really hard thing to do given the nature and complexity of the topic matter.
Bottom line, gay and lesbian couples are EVERYWHERE. And for the first time, thanks to Dr. Gates and crew, people outside the gay community can see and feel it.

Summary: The book about gay demographics!
Comment: This book makes it very easy to find information about where we live in the united states and presents it in such a way that arguments can now be backed up with factual data taken from the US census. It is easy to read and very informative. A must have for anyone interested in gay studies.
Rating: 5
Summary: As comprehensive as it is beautiful...
Comment: This atlas is clearly the gold standard in gay and lesbian demographics. The authors have used the most concrete data available to create one of the most comprehensive and user-friendly books available on the topic. The analysis and methodology is surprisingly readable. The maps are vivid and very easy to follow. I've left the book on my coffee table and everyone one of my friends has picked it up. I thoroughly enjoy watching them thumb through their home states and hearing them exclaim "There are gay people there?" This atlas is a useful tool for marketers, service providers, policy makers, and anyone looking to know more about their gay and lesbian neighbors.
