REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) - Rehoboth is among the Top 5 small cities for same-sex couples, according to a study based on U.S. Census Bureau data.
Rehoboth ranked fourth among cities with populations under 100,000 with 106.87 couples per capita, according to a report published by the Williams Institute, a national sexual orientation law and public policy think tank based at the University of California, Los Angeles.
"Particularly among smaller cities, the data reflects that the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender) community has dispersed beyond traditional enclaves. As social stigma eases, couples are more comfortable coming out, and a generation of aging and out same-sex couples begin to retire," Gary Gates, a Williams Institute demographer, said in a written statement.
"People my age were much more hesitant to be open and say they were in a same-sex relationship," said Steve Elkins, 61, the executive director of CAMP Rehoboth and editor of Letters from CAMP Rehoboth.

Which is why I don't go to Rehoboth.
Just what I want my children to see, grown men kissing and rubbing suntan oil on each other!
The last time I went there the gays were yelling at us " Breeders" so we chased them pelting them with rocks.
I don't care what then do they leave a lot of money in Sussex county and are the only ones buying half million dollar second homes in this market
556 you are so right. Bring in the cash with your female stride self.
