The Atlantic has new numbers from the Census have been corrected to delete previous reporting errors which reveal 646,464 self-reported same-sex couples across the nation. Obviously, the figure is likely much higher given the fear that many faced to so self-identify (e.g., all the same sex coupes in Hampton Roads where one or both members of a couple are U.S. military service members and subject to DADT at the time of the census). In Virginia, it's not surprising that liberal - at least in relative terms Charlottesville appears to lead the way with the highest percentage of same sex couples. With the death of DADT, hopefully Hampton Roads' figures will jump upward.

Interesting to blow the map up and really look at it. Alaska is amazing...of course, there's only 1000 people in the dark blue area, but hey, 13.8+ are part of same-sex couples! NC's far western part seems like a place to be, as well as Arizona and New Mexico (but they're both deserts, so the same-sex couples must be sidewinders and scorpions).
