Divorce rate for gay men
Cansu fought hard for the right to marry her wife. The response to their divorce was harsh
Cansu Col fought hard for marriage equality.
She attended protests and threw energy behind "actively supporting" the campaign, right up until lgbtq+ marriage became legal in December 2017.
In 2019 she married another woman but in 2021 they divorced.
She describes herself as 'the' gay Turkish migrant in Sydney people seek counsel from.
But she said when she desperately needed assist and advice, it was hard to find and from some corners of the Turkish community she received the opposite.
"I got bullied," she told the Feed.
"They were negative when I got married and then they were more negative when I got divorced.
"Being Turkish, coming from a Muslim society, it's not really acceptable to get married with a woman."
After her divorce, people questioned her identity and asked her if she would marry a man.
"They were saying, 'you got what you wanted, so what do you want?'"
They challenged her on why she fought for marriage equality in the first place.

Studies Say That Gay Couples Divorce Less Frequently Than Straight Couples
Tampa Family Lawyer > Blog > Divorce > Studies Say That Gay Couples Divorce Less Frequently Than Straight Couples
Two studies conducted in Europe appear to indicate that gay couples divorce much less frequently than their straight counterparts. In Denmark, the divorce rate for gay couples was 17% against 46% for direct couples. In the Netherlands, marriages between two men dissolved at a rate of 15%, while marriages between straight couples dissolved at a rate of 18%. These numbers materialize to indicate that the gay couples tend to stay together more frequently than straight couples. But why?
As of now, there is no clear reason as all we include are statistics to show that the rate of divorce for gay couples is lower than that of straight ones. But that hasn’t stopped Reddit users from opining on the statistics and offering various theories as to why gay couples linger together with more frequency than straight couples.
Answer #1: Latency of gay marriage rights
This answer essentially holds that gay couples who decided to get married in 2015 when the SCOTUS struck down all state bans on homosexual marriag
Think Tank Reveals Gay Divorce Statistics & Same Sex Marriage Facts
As same sex couples across the land are given the right to marry (or access to civil unions) in more and more states, we are also getting our first glimpses of gay divorce.
The Williams Institute, a think tank focused on gay legal rights, has released recent research regarding gay marriage and gay divorce. Here are a few highlights:
- Currently, the gay divorce rate is half that of heterosexual married couples – while two percent of couples in traditional marriages divorce each year, about one percent of those in same-sex marriages pursue divorce.
- About 20 percent of same-sex couples have entered into marriage, domestic partnerships, or civil unions.
- Since lgbtq+ marriage and civil unions have been legalized in several states, about 150,000 homosexual couples have married.
- Two out of three married same-sex couples are lesbians.
- Gay couples are more likely to marry than they are to enter into a civil union or domestic partnership.
Of course, we should note that these statistics represent couples who are getting married at the beginning of a new movement – while th
Gay divorce less likely than straight divorce?
Recent research shows that gay marriages are less likely to conclusion in divorce than unbent ones.
Gay couples have been able to enter into Civil Partnerships for some years now, although technically this is not defined as marriage, even through the legal differences between them are minuscule. The government has indicated that it is likely to amend the law so that gay people will be able to join in a civil ceremony (and may even allow direct couples to have Civil Partnerships).
The Office for National Statistics has announced that dissolutions of civil partnerships happen at a drop rate than straight divorces. (Civil Partnerships end in Dissolution, rather than divorce, but again, there is virtually no difference between the two things). So what conclusions can we draw from this?
Well, we could perhaps conclude that maybe gay couples are better at making relationships work than straight people. Do a couple of gay men, for example, have more in ordinary than a straight husband and wife?
Perhaps, but I doubt that is the reason behind the clear success of Civil Partnerships. They have only been possible for a not many years and it
