Some gay couples are making the most of a 2015 Supreme Court ruling
that made same-sex marriage legal across the United States, but many
LGBT adults are just happy to have their rights without needing to put a
ring on it. After the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that
states could not ban same-sex marriages, 10.2 percent of lesbian, gay,
bisexual or transgender adults are now married to their same-sex spouse,
according to a Gallup poll published this week.Before the Supreme Court ruling, less than 8 percent of LGBT couples were married to a same-sex partner. In 2016, about 9.6 percent of LGBT adults said "I do" to their same-sex partner. LGBT Americans over the age of 50 were most likely to be married.
