Heterosexuals Verses Homosexuals: Who Values Marriage More?


Gay magazine 'The Advocate', wrote an article on gay marriage possibly being revoked in California on November 4th election day, due to Prop 8

Gay and lesbian activists are fighting to keep this right by having petitions signed, proving that the right to marry should stay binding.

Comparing and contrasting homosexual relationships to heterosexual relationships, the fact remains that homosexual relationships last longer than heterosexual marriages.

In 2005, statistics showed over 8 million gay men and women who live as partners in committed relationships; 12% of the 8 million are married. The relationships usually last 10-20 years or longer. 

Heterosexual marriages end in divorce court over 50 percent of the time, with the divorce rate currently being of its highest to date; a huge increase from the 80's and 90's.

Government proclaims that marriage must stay traditional and sacred between a man and a woman, it doesn't matter if Americans get divorced 50 percent of the time. 

And yes, a drunken night in Las Vegas can easily lead a person to the alter to take on a sacred union that you, your physical self, may be unaware of. 

When heterosexuals marry are they marrying for love or convenience? Is marrying easier for heterosexuals, because they know they can always get out of it?

Makes you wonder doesn't it?
