A new study, of sorts, by PornHub shows that the southern US states watch the most gay porn of any region of the country.
The research also finds that Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia are the top gay-porn watchers of all 50 states.
Of the top 10 gay-porn-watching states, 5 are in the South.
And, on average, states that have legalized gay marriage have more gay-porn viewers than states that ban same-sex nuptials.
Here’s a list of the Top 10 gay-porn-watching states that I compiled (PornHub, oddly, doesn’t list all 50 in a row):
5.58% Mississippi
5.44% Louisiana
5.38% Georgia
5.37% New York
5.38% Hawaii
5.27% California
5.21% Florida
5.00% DC
4.97% Alabama
4.96% New Mexico
You might recall a study from a few years ago showing that uber-conservative Utah was the top home-consumer of porn overall – not gay porn, just porn generically. The other states in the overall porn line-up, not just gay porn, varied, depending on how you slice the data:

PornHub reports that the lowest numbers of gay-porn watchers are in Alaska, Montana, North Dakota and Idaho.
