Hm. I wonder what the gay divorce rate will be compared to the straight divorce rate in 30 years. I imagine it'll be lower for awhile if gay marriages are permitted. Not sure when it would catch up.
I'm not sure it ever would catch up. I think some healthy percentage of divorces are the result of marriages done for assorted social pressure reasons that really wouldn't apply to gays, because gays have been getting by without marriage forever. (Ie: "we need to be married before we have sex or live together because my family won't approve", "I need to be married to have personal fulfillment/I don't want to be a spinster at age 32", etc).
With less social pressure to marry, I'd imagine that most gays that wanted to bother to get married would have stronger reasons for commitment.
