Same-Sex Household Growth Rate Moves California Beyond ‘Gayborhoods’
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-23/same-sex-household-growth-rate-moves-california-beyond-gayborhoods-.html

The population of homosexuals living together as partners climbed 36.2 percent, and the increase for married heterosexuals was 5.7 percent, according to census data released today. Even with the gain, same-sex domestic partners make up just 1 percent of all households in the most-populous state.

Let's hope so. And let's hope the stats aren't used as "evidence" that letting gay people marry is "killing" traditional marriage.
