Texas takes top prize in gay couple kidstakes

Wow, approximately half of lesbians and gay men are coupled. I don’t know why I find that surprising . . . In other news, San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX, has the highest percentage of couples with kids. They’re not just accessories anymore! From The Atlantic: With the passage of the New York Marriage Equality Act, the number of gay couples in the U.S. who are eligible to marry has now doubled, as my post yesterday noted. Approximately 9 million Americans are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) — slightly less than four percent of the population, according a recent study by Gary Gates of UCLA’s Williams Institute. Approximately half of lesbians and gay men are members of same-sex couples, including an estimated 160,000 who are married, according to Gates’ research. Nearly one in five same-sex couple households are raising children, compared to about 45 percent of heterosexual couple households, according to figures from the American Community Survey (ACS).]]>
