Colorado Confidential: "The number of gay couples in the eight-state Mountain region has increased seven-fold since 1990, according to a study released Monday by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, a think tank dedicated to sexual orientation law and public policy. It's the largest regional increase in the country except in the east South Central states of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee, which saw an increase of 863 percent. Researchers looked at data from the U.S. Census Bureau from 1990 through 2006 and found that across the U.S., the number of same-sex couples increased 21 times faster than the population. The largest increases were found in states that have traditionally been more conservative and less accepting of homosexuality."
