PARENTING STATISTICS: Chairm Ohn

The NGLTF press release to which you linked said the following:

"Black lesbian couple households are almost as likely as Black married opposite-sex couple households to include a child of one or both of the adults (69%). Nearly half of Black male same-sex couple households (46%) include a child of one or both of the partners."

According to the US Census, the rate at which children are included in same-sex households (28%) is significantly lower than the rate for unmarried opposite sex households (43%) and married households (46%).

Also, while about 11.5% of the homosexual adult population (HRC estimates 5% of adults are homosexual) lives in same-sex households, just 3% (170, 000 couples) reported residing with children.

One wonders why there is such a discrepancy in the estimates?
