There is a gay marriage boom in the US.

Since the Supreme Court ruled on 26 June that same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states, 96,000 couples have exchanged vows, according to an analysis released today by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law.

The impact of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision is clear: In the first half of 2015, same-sex couples comprised just 6% of all marriages. From July to October, same-sex couples comprised 11% of all marriages.

‘These data make it clear that the majority of same-sex couples in the United States will soon be married,’ said Gary J. Gates, Blachford-Cooper Distinguished Scholar and Research Director at Williams Institute.

‘That means more American children can benefit from the stability and economic security that marriage can provide,’ Gates added. ‘It also means that it will be easier for more families to adopt some of the country’s most vulnerable children and provide stable and loving homes.’

The analysis states that in 2013, the year the high court gutted the Defense of Marriage Act in Windsor v. United States, an estimated 230,000 same-sex couples were married, or 21 percent of all same-sex couples.

By June 2015 just before Obergefell was decided, 390,000 same-sex couples were married, or 38 percent of all same-sex couples.

As of October, 486,000 same-sex couples are married, or 45 percent of all same-sex couples.
