Finland study: Lesbians have highest divorce rate
-
Contra stereotype: lesbian divorce rate is said to be higher than Gay male couples & higher than Straight couples.
Within ten years, 41 percent of female couples had divorced, compared to 27 percent of male couples and 22 percent of different-sex couples. After adjusting for age, education, and nationality, female couples were still over twice as likely to divorce as different-sex couples, and about 20 percent more likely than male couples.
“We found that female couples entered marriages after shorter periods of premarital cohabitation [ed: stereotype
] than male couples or different-sex couples, but its role in explaining their higher divorce risk was smaller than I expected,” Ponkilainen told PsyPost.Both female couples and different-sex couples who had a child together were less likely to divorce than those who did not. However, this protective effect was stronger among different-sex couples.
cohabitation length, prior children, and shared children...Even after accounting for these variables, female couples remained the most likely to divorce.

Other studies have shown that lesbian couples have the highest rate of Domestic Violence. Gay couples have the lowest rate, with hetero couples being in the middle.
