Same-sex couples more likely to be interracial​



Meanwhile, 34 percent of unmarried same-sex couples are also interracial, compared to 29 percent of opposite-sex couples.

The percentage has skyrocketed over the past few years, with 11 percent of unmarried same-sex couples being interracial in 2008.

Interestingly, the data suggests that same-sex male couples were more likely to be interracial at around 37 percent, while 25 percent of same-sex female couples were interracial.

I imagine there are a number of ways to spin this. What shall we go with? Lesbians are more inclined to be racist than gay male or straight couples maybe?
 
Across the board...we live in a more inter-racial world of relationships than 15 years ago.

It is what 37% of Americans are terrified about.
 
According to politically-correct commercials on television, over 90% of couples (married or single, same-sex or not, regardless of age) are interracial. And to think that a Cheerios commercial was quickly removed from the airwaves by General Mills because Mommy was white, Daddy was black, and Daughter was mixed.

My, how things have changed.
 
I currently do not know any interracial gay couples. I knew one couple but I think they were just buds spending the day at Hippie Hollow.

Straight folks? Zero interracial couples.

You must live in a bubble.
 
I moved out of Austin almost 30 years ago. I worked for a great guy that had three adult bookstores. I ended up opening my own store. Went to plenty of gay bars. Went to Decadence in New Orleans a couple of times. A few events in Montrose in Houston. There were plenty of black dudes and brown dudes and white dudes. All having a good time. I never noticed much in the way of mixed race couples. Black and white couples.... straight or gay. Can't say anything about lesbians as I stayed away from them.

Maybe it's different in the whatever the name is for the area from Washington DC up through Montreal and over to Toronto. I've never gone there other than tourist stuff in DC.
 
Being that I live in California, which has a diverse population, I have seen a lot of interracial couples, gay and straight. Another part of my family is from Hawaii, which is also very diverse. My own family is interracial, so that has been my experience. I think the only race that is not in my family yet are aborigines.
 
I live in South Jersey and you see a lot of interracial couples gay or straight. I'm black and i been with more Hispanic and white guys then black guys.
 
gays just a little less likely to be conservative than straights
 
I'm sure it's a lot more acceptable, or at least more easily ignored, since the union isn't likely to produce biracial children.
 
A few thoughts come to mind.

First, I'm less interested in a 5% variance between straights and gays as I am in that 29% of straight couples are interracial. That is higher than I suspected and a welcome sign that the howling accusations of racism are likely exaggerated to the actual position of most Americans about race. It's too easy to lob broad indictments of the country while ignoring the sweeping changes in demographics. When I look about in Alabama now, or in Arkansas when visiting there, I see plenty of interracial straight couples.

On the why's for the variance, if it is big enough to need a why, I agree with those concluding that gays are more likely to be progressive and liberal for obvious reasons. In addition to that, I think Blacks and Latinos are more likely to be denigrated in their own communities than Caucasians statistically. That doesn't mean there is any shortage of homophobic Caucasians, but the majority population has a much larger pool of same-race gay candidates to choose from than minority populations do.

For those of Chinese, Indian, Japanese, SE Asian, Oceanian, and Aboriginal groups, I don't think their numbers reach high enough to move the demographic needle much in America.

On a personal note, I'm glad that as many as 1/3 have found happinness across cultural (racial) boundaries. I continue to be more attracted to Latino and Mideastern ethnicities, and even more to men with both. That said, I've yet to meet a race or nationality that did not have men I found attractive.
 
Every other commercial on TV has an interracial couple.
