More of us qualify for marriage rights

Written By venus on Sunday, December 30, 2012 | 12:58 AM

With the advances achieved at the ballot box this year, a record number of Americans live in states that recognize relationships between same-sex couples, according to Freedom to Marry.


Nearly 17% of the U.S. population lives in a state that either has the freedom to marry or honors out-of-state marriages of same-sex couples. 
Nearly 39% of the U.S. population lives in a state with either marriage or broad legal status such as civil union or domestic partnership. 
Over 42% of the U.S. population lives in a state that provides some form of protections for gay couples, such as adoption rights or hospital visitation.
