[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a "gay woman" who has been married to my wife for 15y, I would want to know where you got that stat from. Just saying, lesbian relationships are more likely to divorce because heterosexual woman are the ones to file for divorce in heterosexual marriage is a pretty long leap in rationale. It doesn't sound like statistical data, but irrational 'logic.'

I am not sure I would call you 'anti gay' as much as ignorant. If you are going to spout info as facts about my marriage, please check your sources and makes sure they are accurate/from a factual source.[/quote]

Just because it makes you look bad doesn't mean it's discriminatory or made up. Your comment doesn't like like statistical data, but irrational "logic"." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce_of_same-sex_couples[/quote]

I am the "gay woman" quoted above. Ok. So Wiki. That one sentence "Some studies have shown that lesbian committed relationships do not last as long as gay male committed relationships."[24] links to a HuffPo blog. That links to a Williams Institute white paper published in Nov 2011 (when only 6 states allowed same sex marriage.) I don't have time to read the entire white paper, but that statistic was not quoted in any of their top findings.

I am not afraid of looking bad as much as I am afraid of people who quote random things and try to pass them off as facts.[/quote]
