A report released Tuesday shows there are more 100,000 Hispanic same-sex couple households nationwide, and that same-sex couples in which both partners are Hispanic earn less and are less likely to own a home than white non-Hispanic same-sex couple households.

The study was prepared by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute and National Latino/a Coalition for Justice and was based on figures from the last US census.

It was released in Houston, one week before Texans go to the polls to consider a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Texas has one of the highest Hispanic populations in the country.
