八年多以前, the US Supreme Court ruled that marriages to same-sex couples were legal in all states, prompting the US Census Bureau to revise their household rosters to directly count same-sex and different-sex married and cohabiting couples. 使用ACS从2022年开始的1年PUMS文件中的数据, we present the most recent American Community Survey (ACS) estimates of individuals entering into a same-sex marriage, updating our previous profile which used data from 2019 (佩恩 & 曼宁,2021). We compare same-sex newlyweds to different-sex newlyweds based on their marital history, 最近一次结婚的平均年龄, and couple’s age gap (including 95% confidence intervals).  First marriage refers to a first marriage for both members of the couple and remarriage refers to a remarriage for at least one member of the couple. Analyses are limited to householders and spouses of householders. 请注意, while the terms “sex” and “gender” are not interchangeable, because the ACS survey questionnaire uses the term “sex,“我们也选择了这样做.
