Gay women marrying more than men in US since same-sex marriage legalised

IN the US states that have sanctioned same-sex nuptials, lesbians have been marrying in much greater numbers than gay men it has emerged.

Marital data obtained by the New York Post re show a stark, three-to-two ratio of lesbian marriages, compared to all-male unions.

I agree. Women are more likely to move intogether and nest sooner than male counterparts and are more likely to get engaged sooner.

I know Im guilty of that but I wouldn't change it !!

I'm not surprised. At least the numbers are pretty solid on either side.

Say, have you considered getting a self righteous preacher who nonetheless supports gay marriage as a celebrant for this wedding? (Or a funeral, as the case may be?)

Just curiously, how many lesbian relationships do you all know of, that have lasted 10 years plus?
What about gay men?
Transgender?

Of all of those, I know 9 who are still going strong.

Hmm the lack of reply is a little disconcerting Dash...is it because no one knows many?
I don't know any, I don't think...but other than my parents and a few of their friends I don't think I know many straight couples that have been either.

I know a gay guy couple who were together for 15 years. They recently broke up and went seperate ways. One used to be my best friend and business partner, the other one I see more often and we are closer now.

I'm sure I have some lesbian friends who have been together for 10 years. Jac and Cyn have been together for ages, and Caz & Sandy longer than 10 years, I'm sure. Sue and her partner (can't recall her name) have two kids together and have been in a relationship for as long as I can remember. I'm going to house sit for them in a couple of weeks

Then there's Stephen and Fec who have been together for aaaaaages. I met them when I was 21 and they were a couple then. It's been 16 years since I first met those guys, so I'm guessing maybe 20 years?

There is hope for some of us!

Hmm, maybe. I know so many straight couples who have been together forever. I just like seeing the proof of happy endings. I know theyre out there.
