Studies indicate that lesbian couples tend to have higher divorce rates compared to both heterosexual and gay male couples. Some research suggests that lesbian marriages end at nearly twice the rate of male same-sex marriages. However, the claim that the divorce rate is exactly 70% is not universally supported by all data sources.
Several factors contribute to this trend, including relationship dynamics, societal pressures, and legal complexities. Some studies suggest that women, in general, initiate divorces more frequently than men, which may also play a role in the higher dissolution rates among lesbian couples1. Additionally, the relatively recent legalization of same-sex marriage means that long-term data is still evolving.
