Gay civil unions split up far less than religious right marriages



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Gosh, straight couples have a 50% divorce rate, and religious-right couples divorce at the highest rate of all Christians (this was from a study done a few years back). So the religious right divorces around 50% and gays divorce around 1%.

So the best way to protect marriage and lower the divorce rate is to let gays marry and ban marriages of right-wing evangelical Christians.

Seems we can teach the extremist hate groups a few things about family values. This is a data point that people should be using all around the country to defeat those constitutional amendments and any anti "civil union" legislation.

From the VT Times Argus:

But from July 1, 2000, through the end of 2004, according to the Vermont Office of Vital Records, 7,549 couples have filed for civil unions in Vermont and there have been 78 dissolutions.
