Census Bureau Releases Estimates of Same-Sex Married Couples

The U.S. Census Bureau released today new statistics on same-sex married couple and unmarried partner households. According to revised estimates from the 2010 Census, there were 131,729 same-sex married couple households and 514,735 same-sex unmarried partner households in the United States.

The results of the 2010 Census revised estimates are closer to the results of the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) for same-sex married and unmarried partners. The 2010 ACS estimated same-sex married couples at 152,335 and same-sex unmarried partners at 440,989.

This is another version of "we are everywhere".

I don't know if this is a lot or less than "a lot".

What it does show is that a lot of people, us included, are willing to step forward and be counted.

I predict that in the next report there will be a whole lot more. More marriages, more domestic partnerships and more coming out of the closet.
