"According to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau, about 1.7 million households in the country were headed by same-sex couples in 2024, accounting for roughly 1 percent of all U.S. households. That marks a significant increase from about 777,000 households in 2004."
"Married same-sex couples have outnumbered unmarried couples since 2015, the year the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges made marriage equality the law of the land."
"A Gallup poll released last year found Republican support for same-sex marriage fell 14 percentage points, from a high of 55 percent in 2021 to 41 percent—the lowest level recorded in the post-Obergefell era."
"Same-sex married women now outnumber men, approximately 450,000 to 386,000, a reversal from 2004, when married men outnumbered women couples 214,000 to 178,000."
In 2024, approximately 1.7 million U.S. households were headed by same-sex couples, a significant increase from 777,000 in 2004. Of these, about 836,000 were married couples and 551,000 were unmarried. Since the Supreme Court's 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, married same-sex couples have outnumbered unmarried couples. However, political pressure to overturn this ruling is growing, with conservative groups actively campaigning against it. Public opinion shows a decline in Republican support for same-sex marriage, dropping from 55% in 2021 to 41%. Notably, same-sex married women now outnumber men.
