The U.S. Census Bureau on Thursday released its second-ever count of same-sex partners in Minnesota, and the numbers detailed a dramatic picture of change:
A 50 percent jump in same-sex households, a rate of growth five times faster than households overall. The census counted 13,718 same-sex couples in 2010, accounting for about 1 percent of all couples statewide.
Although other states are also seeing big jumps, the Twin Cities could well retain its 2000 position as the gay mecca between the coasts. Only a sprinkling of state numbers have yet been reported, but it's known that Hennepin County by 2010 was roughly equal in concentration to Sonoma County north of San Francisco, the second-highest-ranking county in California.
More urban and suburban same-sex partners spread out to the metro
Minneapolis, with 3,249 same-sex couples, was home to nearly one out of four such couples in Minnesota in 2010. But the city’s share has declined as the number of couples has increased in St. Paul, which had nearly 1,200 same-sex couples, and the balance of the metro area.

Noon Rally - Your Presence is Key!
OutFront Minnesota's Lobby Day for LGBT Equality is one of the largest in the country. For years, it has drawn thousands of fair-minded Minnesotans from across the state opposed to anti-LGBT discrimination.
But this year there are so many new lawmakers who have never seen the crowds of thousands demonstrating for LGBT equality. Some new legislators may even believe no LGBT people even live in their districts!Your presence at the Capitol on April 14 matters more than ever.
