Gallup: Less Than 1% of Adult Population Part of a Same-Sex Couple

Gallup: Less Than 1% of Adult Population Part of a Same-Sex Couple
According to a recent Gallup survey, of the total U.S. adult population (approximately 243 million U.S. adults), less than 1 percent, only .8 percent (approximately 2 million U.S. adults), are part of a same-sex couple.
The same survey finds that approximately .3 percent (.3%) of U.S. adults are married to a same-sex spouse, a mere .5 percent (.5%) identify as being in a same-sex domestic partnership and, of the estimated .8 percent (.8%) of the total U.S. adult population that are a part of a same-sex couple, 780,000 are married. 
In other words, of the estimated 2 million adults that are a part of a same-sex couple, 39 percent (39%) are married
