The U.S. has not seen any negative effects on marriage, divorce or living arrangements among all couples since Massachusetts issued the first state-sanctioned, same-sex marriage licenses 20 years ago, a new analysis says.
…
The analysis found that after states legalized marriage for same-sex couples, marriage numbers jumped in those states at rates greater than what could be accounted for by the new marriages of same-sex couples alone.
Researchers found no consistent evidence of an increase in divorce as a consequence of legalizing marriage for same-sex couples.
The analysis suggests that issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples had, if anything, led to a small positive impact on marriage attitudes among high school seniors.
what are the possible negative affects of gay marriage? the premise makes no sense.
like it was goign to up the divorce rate or something? is that ‘bad’?
I remember when it was THE issue that re-elected bush - every single church-going person I knew came out with rafts of talking point bullshit how it would ‘cheapen’ hetero-marriage, how children seeing married gays would confuse them and mess them up, how there would be rafts of fake marriages for immigration and other specious reasons.
They had a ton of bullshit, none of it plausible.
Bush won in a landslide. :|
Eternal damnation, if that’s the nonsense you were groomed to believe as a child
