Divorce Rate in Gay Marriage-Legal MA Drops To Pre-WWII Level
Provisional data from 2008 indicates that the Massachusetts divorce rate has dropped from 2.3 per thousand in 2007 down to about 2.0 per thousand for 2008. What does that mean ? To get a sense of perspective consider that the last time the US national divorce rate was 2.0 per thousand (people) was 1940. You read that correctly. The Massachusetts divorce rate is now at about where the US divorce rate was the year before the United States entered World War Two.
Ha! This is great data. I’m pretty proud of MA right now, though it probably just means there are lots of newlywed gays & miserable Catholics here.
I wonder which state has the highest divorce rate? My money is on California.
