The federal government and more than three dozen states prohibit same-sex marriage via laws defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. A number of additional states offer same-sex couples the option to register in civil unions or domestic partnerships that offer some or all rights within the state that married couples have.
California had allowed same-sex marriages, but that has been challenged in court, and the state does not allow new marriages pending the outcome of that case.
Massachusetts became the first state to license same-sex marriages in 2004. Same-sex marriage licenses are currently issued in six states and the District of Columbia, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The Census Bureau has a delicate balancing act as it tries to capture a demographic snapshot even as national norms are more akin to a motion picture. The challenges of counting same-sex couples illustrate the difficulties of data collection and group identification in an era of rapid social change. This posting describes what is known so far about data quality for both married and unmarried same-sex couples from past censuses, the American Community Survey and Census Bureau research. In conjunction with that release, the bureau will publish its own evaluation of data quality about same-sex couples. Later this year, the bureau will release a highly anticipated count of same-sex married couples from the 2010 Census, the first time it has done so from a decennial census. The Census Bureau has just completed the release of state-by-state total counts of same-sex couples from the 2010 Census, which adds up to a national total of about 902,000. There have been changes to both during the years the bureau has been releasing same-sex couple data, and the agency has cautioned against comparing numbers from different years to produce trends. The quality of information about same-sex couples depends both on the questionnaire responses the Census Bureau receives, and the procedures the agency implements to collect and edit those responses. Yet, two decades after the Census Bureau began offering people the option to describe themselves as a same-sex “unmarried partner,” producing accurate numbers remains a challenge. → 请前往第.The counts and characteristics of same-sex couples are among the most written-about data from the 2010 Census and American Community Survey. numaralı kapıya gidiniz → Làm ơn đến cửa số. → Molim vas, idite na izlaz … → Vada all'uscita. uçağı hangi uçuş kapısında? → Chuyến bay đi.
