Talk to any P.R. resident, gay or straight, and you will hear what a great town it is and how welcoming its residents are of diversity.
I used to live in P.R. It is not a slam against P.R. to say that the data are an anomaly. It is completely residential, upper income, and somewhat exclusive. It's like Ferndale without the poor [[unless you count "Peasant Ridge" over by the railroad tracks). It has two restaurants, one liquor license, and is a complete bedroom community, unlike Ferndale, which has more diversity. It only makes sense that affluent, same-sex couples would take up housekeeping in P.R., but that community's small size means they will be a significant percentage of that community.

So defensive!
