Which demographic gets divorced the most between straight couples, lesbian couples, and gay couples?

[Anonymous]

Just curious what the consensus is. I will update the question with the statistic later on after I get some votes... Here is the funny, it's not likely the one the propaganda tells you.

Straight

Lesbian

Gay

So I heard from lgbtq sources that lesbians have much higher divorce rate than gay men. Combining that with a theory of mine, that a lot of lgb couples got married the moment it was available without that much consideration as another couple would have taken, I think lesbians have the highest divorce rate.

Dont get me wrong a lot of them will stay happy together but the same would probably be true if marriage as a whole would be introduced for straight couples.
Also before someone calls out a lack in this theory: They probably where together before getting married. Those of you who are married probably know, a realtionship even so slightly does change after getting married. This is not neccesarilly a change to the bad often its a good change.

If that is proven wrong I am surprised that straight couples dont seem to work that well. Kinda funny.

This also may change in the next decades to a probably more leveled rate. Also just theory.

Very true. It could change. That having been said the DV statistics follow the divorce stats too.

There have been studies done, and the results are readilly available on the internet. Lesbian couples have the highest divorcenrate, by far, and gay couples have the lowest.

The more women involved in a marriage, the higher the likelihood it will end in divorce.

Straight couples, I've never heard of lesbians being married

Actually it's nuts. It's about 20% of gay couples divorce, 50% of straight couples get divorced and 75% of lesbian couples get divorced. Oh and the domestic violence stats follow the same trend...
