The U.S. has not seen any negative effects on marriage, divorce or living arrangements among all couples since Massachusetts issued the first state-sanctioned, same-sex marriage licenses 20 years ago, a new analysis says.

The analysis found that after states legalized marriage for same-sex couples, marriage numbers jumped in those states at rates greater than what could be accounted for by the new marriages of same-sex couples alone.

Researchers found no consistent evidence of an increase in divorce as a consequence of legalizing marriage for same-sex couples.

The analysis suggests that issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples had, if anything, led to a small positive impact on marriage attitudes among high school seniors.

      Taco Tuesday: not just the weekly romantic night for lesbians anymore!

      I support any legislation that supports lesbians and/or tacos. All REAL patriots do!

        The honorable @tenchiken is recognized for House Bill, “AMERICA DEMOCRACY AND TACO DAY”, which will enshrine Taco Tuesday and Election Day as a combined federal holiday to encourage universal participation in democracy by voting, carnitas, guacamole and salsa.

        this shit would pass with a landslide
