One of the first I find is an article about British homosexual unions having a failure rate of less than one percent. I'm not inclined to give this statistic much weight, given that the numbers were drawn from a 2 year period, starting when such unions were legitimized. If the average first marriage lasts about 8 years, we wouldn't necessarily expect to see breakdowns in gay marriages right away.
The news is apparently more grim in Sweden, where homosexual unions are 50% more likely to break up within an eight year period.
But then, in Denmark, it seems that gay marriages are out-performing heterosexual marriages.
In general, is skimming around the web, it seems that jury is still out on how well homosexual unions succeed. Since such marriages are only a very recent phenomenon, or because so few nations keep track of statistics in this regard, it is very difficult to make any conclusions. I personally would not be surprised to see gay marriages ending in roughly the same percentage as normal marriages.
Why? Because anymore, marriage is about legitimized sexual acts, not about true devotion to another person coupled with the life-giving aspect that produces family. When the sex aspect is what it is all about, who cares if your partner is male or female?
