Thanks for reading and responding. It's true that lesbian women divorce more than gay men. That said, they also marry much more than gay men so it makes sense that their divorce rate would be higher.

In addition, beside the usual personality and interpersonal issues, queer people face a lot of societal pressures and discrimination that heteros do not. So we can't just chalk it up to "women." It's much more nuanced than that.
