The gay population is estimated at roughly 10% but we're talking couples so 3.5% would imply a surprisingly high rate of marriages amongst gay people within the year over year married population.
The marriage rate is at 6 per 1000 in the states, and its a historic low; it used to be high as 15 per 1000 maybe 20-30 years ago? I posted a link upthread.
Actually what's ironic is that my state's capitol is heralded as "one of the gayest cities in america" for having a percentage of 4.6%. San fransico seems to be 6.2%. This link is dated 6 years ago, though:
And so what? If the % of gay people is lower then that makes the proportion of gay couples getting married by your own offered statistics even higher.
I have no idea what offering them marriage rate in isolation is contributing otherwise.
To loop this back around to the topic at hand though, it is bizzare to use the rate of utilisation of one's rights as an argument as to whether or not people should have them.
