Massachusetts Divorce Rate Falls After Gay Marriage Legalized

Massachusetts has the lowest divorce rate in the nation, despite legalizing gay marriage, and their divorce rate is continuing to fall, according to a new study.

Not such good news for those who said Gay Marriages will destroy Traditional Marriages.

I was wondering how long it would be before this topic showed up over here. They say they've dropped to pre WW2 levels.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that people are marrying who they ACTUALLY love...
and are attracted to.

It does seem to provide some indication, however slight at this point, that the notion gay marriage would wreck heterosexual marriages was unwarranted.
 
Well is there nothing we can do about it? Pre WW2 levels! What is wrong? Perhaps we could pay people to get divorced. Or we could make it law that people have to divorce after 7 years of marriage. If they do not divorce they to to jail. I am so flippin' clever. :yes::yes::yes:

It was always such a bizarre argument to me. I suspect it's just a common tactic of the social conservatives: throw as many unfounded, irrelevant, unsubstantiated vitriol at an issue and some of it will invariably stick no matter how ludicrous.

Either that, or the social conservatives who said it were just plain dumb.

Well, if prior to gay marriage a high divorce rate was part of heterosexual tradition than the lowering of that divorce rate is showing........gay marriage destroying tradition.

They will destroy more traditions by allowing people to treat each other with dignity next!

Stop gay marriage and support a high heterosexual divorce rate! Think of the children!

That's my new slogan.
