If given the opportunity to marry, do you believe homosexuals would have the same divorce rate, higher, or lower than heterosexual marriages?

Personally I think lower. Mainly because if given the chance they might feel it necessary to prove that they are more sustainable than the heterosexual marriages that society treasures. But in reality it may very just be the same.

To everyone who says "It's a sin" To you, yes it is. But to a civil rights movement, you cannot incorporate your religion. Though a lot do. When marriage between a man and a woman can be instituted in a civil setting with absolutely no religious undertones, that has taken away the sanctity of marriage. Because you're technically taking away the "married in God's eyes" part. So why aren't you yelling about that? Gay and lesbian couples can adopt just the same. Some make even better mothers and fathers than straight couples (just my experience) Your truth is your truth alone. We can't found human and civil rights on religion. Look where that got us in the slave days. Yes the bible said it was ok to have slaves, but it also said in a scripture after that to treat them as equals. Not the way that you did. So how about not so much hypocrisy? Also how does it destroy marriage when a lot of people love each other a lot more and don't get married just because they had sex or got pregnant? Those always end in divorce. Peoples reasoning for wanting it illegal is only religious reasons. Since we have separation of church and state (at least we should) then the point of "sin" is null and void. @Jackal Why would they not want to marry? When someone finds someone they love why can they not show it the way anyone else does? Maybe they want to get married in the eyes of their creator or just showing everyone an outward sign of their inward affection.

Well considering that every hetro couple except two that I know has ended in divorce and the gay couples I know have been together for over 30 years (one couple has been together almost 50!) I would say much lower.

Probably higher. The gay people I've known in my life tend (and this isn't all inclusive...it's just a tendency that I've noticed) to be more promiscuous than straight people. Also, gay commitment ceremonies tend to use "as long as the love shall last" in place of "till death do us part."

I think it would be the same as heterosexual marriages. What makes them any different. We are all human!

Why would you think otherwise? To say that they're marriage would be more stable would be discrimination against hetero's, illogical, and a lie.
And to say that Hetero's marriages are more stable gays is also discrimination but against gays, illogical, and again, a lie.
It depends of the individuals who are together, not their sexual orientation.

I think lower because people of the same sex know what each other wants and get along better

Since there is no gay marriage, your question seems moot, however I will tentatively answer NO.

well last time I checked people are people...I would base divorce rates on personality not really sexual preference.

people are people, relationships have the same problems-gay or straight, I think it's about the same!
