Data is always interesting

http://www.ruthblog.org/2011/05/19/what-types-of-unions-have-the-highest-rates-of-divorce/

Female unions seem to have the highest divorce rates, followed by male unions, followed by opposite sex unions.
“For Sweden, the divorce risk for partnerships of men is 50% higher than the risk for heterosexual marriages, and that the divorce risk for female partnerships is nearly double that for men.”
“For Norway, divorce risks are 77% higher in lesbian partnerships than in those of gay men.”  (The Norwegian data did not include a comparison with opposite sex couples.)
In California, the data is collected a little differently. The study looks at couples who describe themselves as partners, whether same sex or opposite sex. The study asks the question, how likely is it that these couples live in the same household five years later. Male couples were only 30% as likely, while female couples were less that 25% as likely, as heterosexual married couples, to be residing in the same household for five years.


For years the pro SSM folx have told us that SSM is not significantly different from marriage.  That it's just gay folx who want to formalize a long term, faithful, monogamous relationship.

I know this will shock some people, but just maybe we should look at the data and reconsider the view that SSM is a panacea that will solve every problem in gay relationships.

Feo,

Please don’t lecture me about how adults behave, you clearly don’t behave like one.

Adults don’t post the same comment 900+ times, adults provide what they’ve been asked to provide.

If you want to engage in childish petulance, posting comments that’ll never see the light of day due to your stubborn pride, go right ahead.

Your problem is that you’ve chosen to pretend that your lack of access isn’t a direct result of your behavior. Nothing else.

Again, your pride blinds you to your role in being mostly ignored, moderated, and mocked.

No adult ever tries to equate the childish petulance of repeating some inane comment 900+ times with teaching a lesson. Again, perhaps it's your pride getting in the way of realizing that every word that passes from your keyboard isn't a pearl of great price. the vast majority is just juvenile, foolish, attempts to get attention.

I must say that your pride is impressive, almost as impressive as your imagination.

Indeed, the funniest bit is the notion that he is teaching us lessons, topped only by the audacity to presume he's the man for the job. I wonder which passage from Scripture teaches this.

Regarding the topic, all that data you provided is certain to compel a dramatic paradigm shift for Dan, who ALWAYS follows the data.
