Abstract	Despite recent media and scholarly attention describing the“disappearance” of traditionally gay neighborhoods, urbanscholars have yet to quantify the segregation of same-sex partners and determinewhether declining segregation from different-sex partners is a wide-spreadtrend. Focusing on the 100 most populous places in the United States, I use datafrom the 2000 and 2010 Decennial Census to examine the segregation of same-sexpartners over time and its place-level correlates. I estimate linear regressionmodels to examine the role of four place characteristics in particular: averagelevels of education, aggregate trends in the family life cycle of same-sexpartners, violence and social hostility motivated by sexual orientation bias,and representation of same-sex partners in the overall population. On average,same-sex partners were less segregated from different-sex partners in 2010 thanin 2000, and the vast majority of same-sex partners lived in environments ofdeclining segregation. Segregation was lower and declined more rapidly in placesthat had a greater percentage of graduate degree holders. In addition,segregation of female partners was lower in places that had a greater share offemale partner households with children. These findings suggest that sexualorientation should be considered alongside economic status, race, and ethnicityas an important factor that contributes to neighborhood differentiation andurban spatial inequality.
