I can support my opinion with facts: About 9 million: The number of Americans who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, according to a 2011 study by a scholar at the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/gay-marriage-numbers California has about 11.5% of the US population so there should be over 1M gays there. Maybe more since gay people move there. Yet there are only 28K SSM married couples there. Pretty clearly, 95% of gays in California don't want to be married. Thousands of California gays and lesbians identify themselves as married even though the state never awarded them a marriage certificate, declaring on 2010 census forms that they lived with a wife or husband of the same sex. Newly released U.S. Census Bureau statistics put the number of married same-sex couples in the state at 28,000, well above the 18,000 legally married before the passage of Proposition 8 halted same-sex marriages in 2008. mercurynews.com
