(CNSNews.com) - The proportion of same-sex, cohabiting couples who are married has increased from 38 percent to 49 percent in the year since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, but more than half (51 percent) of same-sex, cohabiting couples are not married, according to a new Gallup poll.
Gallup estimates that approximately 123,000 same-sex marriages have taken place since the June 26, 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision.
The same survey estimates that 3.9 perent of U.S. adults are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, and 0.4 percent of U.S. adults are married to a same-sex spouse.
"These figures can be used to estimate there are approximately 981,000 U.S. adults in a same-sex marriage, and thus, 491,000 same-sex marriages in the U.S. That latter estimate is up from roughly 368,000 a year ago," the survey said.
The results are based on Gallup Daily tracking interviews conducted throughout 2015 and 2016.

And they give the very best treats on Halloween.They don't just give the kids a single treat,they give them a package of treats with a bow on it.I am dead serious.
It's less than 2 % of the population.
so about 4.3% of the population is causing all this confusion and trouble. good grief.
