I don't think that Ferndale is [[or ever really was) a super heavily gay community, but I do think it's kind of the closest thing to a nexus for the demographic, given that they have the community center, and a number of gay-friendly gathering places.
Ferndale/Pleasant Ridge has lots of nice older homes, and generally crappy schools. This will attract many childless couples, many of whom are presumably gay. If I may stereotype, gays seem to prefer to renovate a nice older house, rather than buy some tract home.
I'm sure the same thing is going on in other communities with the nice houses/iffy schools thing [[University District, EEV, maybe Rosedale Park, maybe Lathrup Village).
