STUDY: More than 11,000 same-sex couples have married in California since the unions were legalized
UCLA's Williams Institute for Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy announced several new studies today that focus on trends among same-sex couples, and how they compare to different-sex couples.
According to one report, more than 11,000 same-sex couples have married in the three months since the state Supreme Court legalized gay marriages. Five counties account for nearly 80 percent of the couples: Los Angeles (2,719), San Francisco (2,708), San Diego (1,689), Riverside (1,247), and Alameda (475), the report states. "These are all counties known to have large and visible lesbian and gay populations and are also attractive tourist destinations for both in- and out-of-state weddings," according to researchers.
