Finally: For the First Time, the U.S. Census Bureau Releases Data on Same-Sex Couples | PEEK | AlterNet

SURVEY RESULTS UNSHEATHED
The Census Bureau has released estimates from the annual American Community Survey (ACS) of same-sex couples who identifed as married spouses in 2008. (Although the Census Bureau has been keeping track of same-sex marriages since 2000, the Bush administration refused to release the data, citing the federal ban on marriage equality.) Nearly 150,000 people said they had a same-sex spouse, and approximately 415,00 identified as "unmarried partners".
