Alabama

Alabama, located in the South, is home to nearly 10,000 same-sex couples. From 1990 to 2006, the number of same-sex couples in Alabama increased by 897%, one of the largest state increases in the United States. Even though so many same-sex couples are living and coming out in Alabama, in 2006 Alabama voters approved an anti-relationship recognition discriminatory constitutional amendment. State advocacy groups continue to work towards repealing marriage and relationship recognition discrimination and gaining the freedom to marry for the citizens of Alabama.
