Divorce rates between gay men

Since achieving marriage equality, Australian same-sex couples can marry and divorce as they wish.

Same-sex marriage is recognised in 35 countries around the world.

  10 Interesting Facts About Same Sex Marriage and Divorce

  Eight years after same-sex marriage was written into law, we’re looking at these major life events by the numbers. 

  1. Same-sex marriages are on the rise.

  This is the eighth year since same-sex marriages possess been possible; around one in 35 marriages are now among same-sex couples. Just shy of 7,000 same-sex couples tied the knot in 2018, according to the Office of National Statistics. Covid stalled the wedding industry, with fewer couples saying ‘I do’ in 2020 than in previous years. But pandemic aside, the overall trend is up.

  The Office for National Statistics has announced that dissolutions of civil partnerships happen at a bring down rate than straight divorces. (Civil Partnerships end in Dissolution, rather than divorce, but again, there is virtually no difference between the two things). So what conclusions can we draw from this?

  Well, we could perhaps conclude that maybe gay couples are better at making relationships work than straight people. Do a couple of gay men, for example, have more in shared than a straight husband and wife?

  Perhaps, but I doubt that is the reason behind the perceptible success of Civil Partnerships. They have only been possible for a several years and it
