Social conservatives are about to shit their pants. A new report from UCLA's Williams Institute says that the number of out gay couples has quadrupled since 1990, particularly in the more right-leaning South, Midwest and Mountain regions. Says senior research Gary Gates:

Clearly, more same-sex couples are willing to openly identify themselves as such on government surveys.

A combination of growing social acceptance and migration to the South and West means that same-sex couples are becoming increasingly visible in the most politically and socially conservative parts of the country.

Ha! We love that anti-gay states are seeing an influx of homos. It's like a progressive political plague!
