Same-sex spouses were typically younger and were more likely to be employed than those in opposite-sex marriages, although many of those differences disappeared after the legalization of gay marriage in 2015. That's according to a new report released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. Almost 1.5 million people lived with a same sex spouse in the U.
FILE - John Lewis, left, and Stuart Gaffney embrace outside San Francisco’s City Hall shortly before the U.S. Supreme Court ruling cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California, June 26, 2013. The U.S. Census Bureau on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, reported that same-sex spouses were typically younger, had more education and were more likely to be employed than those in opposite-sex marriages.
The 2015 Supreme Court decision proved to be a watershed, with around 41% of same-sex spouses reported in 2022 getting married within four years of the ruling. By comparison, 14% of those in opposite-sex marriages were married between 2015 and 2019, according to the Census Bureau report. Any differences between gay and heterosexual marriages before the Supreme Court decision reflect the fact that same-sex marriage wasn’t recognized in all states until 2015, according to the report.
