US Census Bureau to count gay, lesbian and unmarried couples

Editor's Note:This information was provided from the US Census bureau's web site.

Does the Census Bureau have data on same-sex and unmarried-partners?

Same sex and unmarried partner household data are collected for those households where the householder and his or her partner are not married, but are living in a close personal relationship. An unmarried partner can be of the same sex or opposite sex of the householder.

An unmarried partner, in an unmarried partner household, is an adult who is unrelated to the householder, but shares living quarters and has a close personal relationship with the householder. This relationship is based on the self-identification of respondents.
