From a New York Times article claiming that Washington, D.C. is "the gayest place in America":
On the days I make the 20-minute walk from home to my office near the White House, I will pass one example after another of this city's thriving gay economy: a Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams furniture store; a clothing retailer whose window displays regularly feature bare-torso, well-endowed mannequins in nothing but tiny briefs; three CrossFit gyms; the offices of two gay newspapers, The Washington Blade and Metro Weekly (most cities cannot even sustain one); a bathhouse; and the national headquarters for the Human Rights Campaign.
Maybe I am missing something. Probably I am missing something. But I know three CrossFit gym users and all of them are married to persons of the opposite sex. Earlier Times coverage of the CrossFit phenomenon (here, for example), has not characterized it as a business that is part of the "gay economy." Absent further explanation, the reference seems strange.
