More detailed information about where the country's gayby boom is coming from was released today by the Williams Institute, with California naturally boasting a large population -- 52,530 gay parents.
The institute's numbers are based on Census information. In the survey, California reported 125,516 couples, 21% of which are raising children. That means that one of every five gay couples is parenting.
But in this round of data, it was Wyoming that actually reported the highest percentage - 28%. Of course, Wyoming had many fewer same-sex couples -- only 1,147 in total.
Delaware reported 3,352 couples, 19% of which were raising children. Pennsylvania reported 33,602 couples, with 20% bringing up children. And Kansas reported 6,176 couples, with 26% raising children.
Earlier this month, Census data was released showing that the number of gay households raising children is dramatically on the increase. In the 2000 survey 8% of same-sex couples reported having an adopted child in their household. In 2010,that number jumped sharply, to 19% of couples.
