With the advances achieved at the ballot box this year, a record number of Americans live in states that recognize relationships between same-sex couples, according to Freedom to Marry.
Nearly 17% of the U.S. population lives in a state that either has the freedom to marry or honors out-of-state marriages of same-sex couples.
Nearly 39% of the U.S. population lives in a state with either marriage or broad legal status such as civil union or domestic partnership.
Over 42% of the U.S. population lives in a state that provides some form of protections for gay couples, such as adoption rights or hospital visitation.
