Maine is voting today on whether to keep it legal... Tomorrow is the year anniversary of the passage of Proposition 8 here in California. One of the arguments that opponents of gay marriage often cite is that if two men or two women marry - that will ruin the definition of marriage. But a new study out of UCLA shows that same sex married couples aren't all that different from straight ones. Gary Gates is a Senior Research Fellow at UCLA. He says that for the first time the US Census included the official estimates for the number of same-sex couples who called one partner a “husband” or “wife”. Gates compares these same-sex married couples to those who designated a partner as an “unmarried partner”. He also compared gay married couples to their straight counterparts and found plenty of similarites when it came to age, income and even child-bearing.
