That will happen soon enough. <br /><br />Kay - that's a good question about divorce. I've only seen anecdotes and I think those tend only to make the press when children are involved. So that biases the sample toward reporting lesbian breakups as more of us have kids. But it will be interesting. I see little reason to believe that sustaining marriages will be any easier for gays than straight folks.janinsanfranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548452260456734928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-40366067200394019002011-07-07T09:14:41.181-07:002011-07-07T09:14:41.181-07:00I wish I could find the study, but....

My partner and I were as surprised as he was -- more gay men than lesbians were in long term partnered relationships. This was, of course, before "gay marriage" was even a distant possibility. Wonder what an identical study would show now.Betty Johannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-8322484528987180932011-07-07T08:33:41.737-07:002011-07-07T08:33:41.737-07:00I'm just glad that it's finally here as an...I'm just glad that it's finally here as an option and growing. Lawyers should be happy -- they'll garner the profits from gay divorce. I'll be interested to see the stats on that when it happens. I don't really know what happening on this here in Ohio -- we're to busy trying to keep our governor from killing us.Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-13329324815192384572011-07-07T06:31:33.708-07:002011-07-07T06:31:33.708-07:00Interesting thought on the not believing the diffe...Interesting thought on the not believing the difference is genetic. I'm not going to say I disagree, but I'm not going to say I agree either. Either way, I'm glad the option to marry is becoming more and more available. I wish our President would stop "evolving" and just openly support gay marriage. I'm tired of government officials at the federal level who only respect states' rights when it's politically convenient.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393751713576765589noreply@blogger.com
