Same-Sex Couples May Have More Egalitarian Relationships
NPR:
A little more than 10 years ago gay marriage was not an option for same-sex couples anywhere in the U.S. Now it’s legal in the majority of the country, and so we wondered what research can tell us about these couples and their marriages. Robert-Jay Green is the founder of the Rockway Institute for Research in LGBT Psychology, and he’s been studying same-sex couples since 1975. Welcome to the program.
ROBERT-JAY GREEN: Thank you.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: So first of all, tell us who did you track in your study, and what you find out?
GREEN: Well, this was a study of 976 couples who, in 2008, were registered domestic partners in California. We followed them over a five-year period to look at which ones of them got married, which ones of them stayed together, unmarried, and which ones of them broke up.
