More detailed information about where the country’s gayby boom is coming
from was released today by the Williams Institute, with California naturally
boasting a large population — 52,530 gay parents.
The institute’s numbers are based on Census information. In the survey,
California reported 125,516 couples, 21% of which are raising children. That
means that one of every five gay couples is parenting.
But in this round of data, it was Wyoming that actually reported the highest
percentage – 28%. Of course, Wyoming had many fewer same-sex couples —
only 1,147 in total.
Delaware reported 3,352 couples, 19% of which were raising children.
Pennsylvania reported 33,602 couples, with 20% bringing up children. And
Kansas reported 6,176 couples, with 26% raising children.
Earlier this month, Census data was released showing that the number of gay
households raising children is dramatically on the increase. In the 2000
survey 8% of same-sex couples reported having an adopted child in their
household. In 2010,that number jumped sharply, to 19% of couples. |
