View submission: why is there a higher-than-average concentration of queer people working at cafés?

The reason why Cafés historically have the image of intellectualism can be traced all the way back to the "penny university" coffeehouses of the enlightenment. And in fact even further back to their origin in Ottoman coffeehouses. Before commercialisation Cafés genuinely were a place of mass social learning and teaching.
