Where do same sex couples raise their children?

Huffington Post notes a new poll that shows the highest percentage of same sex couples raising children live in states that forbid marriage equality:

A new Williams Institute poll has revealed some startling facts about the demographics of gay and lesbian parents.

Metro areas with the highest percentages of same-sex couples who are raising children are located in socially conservative states with constitutional bans on marriage equality in place, officials at the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law point out in a press release.

At 26 percent, Salt Lake City, Utah topped the list of large U.S. cities with the most same-sex couples raising children, while at the state level, Mississippi had the highest percentage, also with 26 percent. Following closely behind were Virginia Beach, Va., Detroit and Memphis, Tenn.
