30% of America's Gays Are Married (Or Married-Ish). Not That Their States Recognize It
http://www.queerty.com/30-of-americas-gays-are-married-or-married-ish-not-that-their-states-recognize-it-20100911/How excited WERE YOU when you found out that, for the first time, those door-knockers counting everyone up for the U.S. Census were going to include data on same-sex couples? Well, then you found out it wasn't really a perfect system, and the gays wouldn't exactly be totally on the radar. And now the hard(ish) data: One in seven of gay couples won't be identified as such. But that doesn't mean we don't know how many of you are living under the same roof. Big brother knows all!
A stunning 99 percent of America's homos participated in this year's census, claims UCLA Law's Williams Institute for Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy (compared to just 1 in 7 households on average). But because of the way they filled it out, some 15 percent won't be recorded as such.
