(2000), for example, ed sampl of same-sex unmarried partner upl om the 1990 cens to provi a broad mographic picture of gay and lbian upl the Uned Stat, and more recently Black, Sanrs, and Taylor (2007) ed the analogo upl om Cens 2000 to scribe this unique nstct, however, the cennial cens nnot provi evince on (1) nonpartnered gay men and lbians and (2) upled gay men and lbians who eher do not live wh each other or who do not choose to scribe their relatnship as an “unmarried partnership. ”2 As such, the cens and other data which sexual mori are intified only through hoehold relatnships (such as the Amerin Communy Surveys or the Current Populatn Surveys) nnot provi evince on the prevalence of partnership and habatn among gay men and lbians.

Moreover, a nsistent limatn of upl-based rearch has been s abily to terme how generalizable any rults are to the overall gay and lbian populatn, sce this qutn turns explicly on the gree to which partnered sexual mori differ om nonpartnered sexual mori.

3 Importantly, the brief evince on partnership prev work was limed to tablishg the feasibily of g upl-based data to scribe gay men and study, ntrast, foc exclively on the prevalence of gay and lbian partnership and habatn. Although there is a large and extensive lerature on partnership and habatn among heterosexual dividuals, there is paratively ltle rearch on partnership among gay men and lbians (see Seltzer 2000 and Smock 2000 for reviews of partnership among heterosexuals).

We e data om the State of California’s 2003 Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgenr (LGBT) Tobac Survey (henceforth, the “ Tobac Survey”) and the 2001, 2003, and 2005 wav of the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). This is bee the gay men and lbians who would avail themselv of domtic partner benefs om the ernment or an employer are probably those who would self-intify as gay or, we observe much more direct rmatn on partnership than prev rearch. The Tobac Survey data also provi tailed rmatn on the nature of the partnership: we n, for example, separately distguish the prence of a romantic partner om habatn wh that partner, and we also prent the first evince on relatnship duratn and habatn length among partnered gay men and, we prent the first timat of the actn of gay and lbian partnerships that are officially registered wh the lol or state ernment, as well as the rrelat of beg officially registered.

This ponent of the samplg strategy mt be kept md the ntext of our partnership timat bee is possible that the geographic distributn of sexual mori vari acrdg to partnership stat, and the cens intifi only partnered gay men and lbians.
