How does demographic and religious context relate to interracial relationships among same-sex and different-sex couples? Using couple data from the 2012 to 2014 American Community Surveys matched to aggregate data from the 2010 Census and 2010 Religious Congregations and Membership Study, we test how heterogamy patterns for same-sex and different-sex couples vary by the demographic and religious makeup of cities, using multinomial logistic regressions to compare interracial and same-race couples. We find that same-sex couples are more likely to be in a White/Black interracial pairing than different-sex couples. White partners are more likely to be in an interracial relationship if they are in a city with a large minority group population. In addition, context is differently associated with interracial unions for same-sex and different-sex couples, varying for each racial combination.

人口统计学和宗教背景如何与同性和异性伴侣之间的跨种族关系相关联？使用 2012 年至 2014 年美国社区调查的夫妇数据与 2010 年人口普查和 2010 年宗教会众和成员研究的汇总数据相匹配，我们测试了同性和异性夫妇的异性恋模式如何因城市的人口和宗教构成而有所不同，使用多项逻辑回归来比较不同种族和同种族的夫妇。我们发现同性伴侣比异性伴侣更有可能成为白人/黑人跨种族配对。如果白人伴侣在拥有大量少数族裔人口的城市中，他们更有可能处于跨种族关系中。此外，背景与同性和异性伴侣的跨种族结合有不同的关联，
