Colorado sees 60 percent increase in same-sex couples
The number of same-sex couples living in Colorado has increased 60 percent over the past decade, about triple the growth rate of all households in the state, according to new census data released Wednesday.
Almost one-fourth of the same-sex couples are raising children, the data show.
The census identifies couples as same-sex when a person describes her or his relationship with someone of the same gender, living in the same household, as either "husband/wife" or "unmarried partner."
