First up – the overall queer community is marrying at the same rate as opposite sex couples in Massachusetts, thanks to same sex female couples outnumbering the men two to one.
Secondly, in terms of UK divorces lesbians were also in the lead in 2010 (maybe not in a good way) about 3.3% dissolving their partnership compared to 1.6% of the men. These rates are still lower than that of opposite sex couples.
So, we are not marrying less or divorcing more it seems. That’s both no news and good news all round the push for equality I would say.
