It’s official: We truly are everywhere. There are 901,997 same-sex couples
in the United States, and they are represented in 99% of U.S. counties,
according to an analysis of 2010 U.S. Census data by the Williams Institute.
The institute, a think tank based at the University of California, Los
Angeles, School of Law, also reports that 60% of the couples are female, 40%
male, and that 22% of all couples are raising children.
“Child-rearing among same-sex couples is most common in the Deep South and
Mountain West regions,” Williams Institute demographer Gary Gates said in a
press release. “In these socially conservative areas, LGBT people likely
come out later in life and are more likely to have a child from a
relationship with a different-sex partner when they were younger.”
Among large cities — population of more than 250,000 — the five the with
the highest proportion of same-sex couples were, in order from number 1, San
Francisco; Seattle; Oakland, Calif.; Minneapolis; and Atlanta. Among mid-
size cities — population 100,000 — the greatest concentration of gay
couples was in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Berkeley, Calif.; Salt Lake City;
Cambridge, Mass.; and Orlando, Fla. Among cities with fewer than 100,000
residents, the top five were Provincetown, Mass.; Wilton Manors, Fla.; Palm
Springs, Calif.; Rehoboth Beach, Del.; and Guerneville, Calif. | k*****e
