A quick look on Wikipedia shows Farage is divorced from his first wife, separated from his second and now in a relationship with somebody else. So forgive me if I don’t give his views on this much importance.

Says the twice married man who lives with another woman.
I mean aside from the blatant dog whistle this just isn’t true?
> the data show that there is very little difference in relationship longevity between homo- and heterosexual couples. Of the 126 same-sex couples and 2,157 heterosexual couples identified in the Manning study, it was determined that 27% of the same-sex couples and 28% of the heterosexual couples ended their relationships within five years of their genesis, and that relationships that ended within three years of their genesis did so at a rate of 22% for same-sex couples and 20% for heterosexual couples (Manning et.al, 2016).

The irony is the lowest divorce rate of wedded couples is actually when a man is married to a man.

It’s actually,
Gay Men – Sorry to break the bad news.
Then Hetro cpls.
Then Lesbians.

Stable relationships, not being a c**t, just some of the things he’s unqualified to give an opinion on.

Ugh, his attempts to use American messaging continues. It’s just cringy.

Anyone who thinks American style politics isn’t coming here – remember this and abortion that reform have bought up . We don’t need this here . This is the social attitudes of the uk 50 years ago and he wants to take us back .

Looking purely at divorced stats the most stable relationship is between two guys

Is it bad for me to think all these young gay men who’ve been drawn to the right by their (entirely justifiable) fear of Islamism are going to be in for a nasty shock if they enable a Reform government to get into power?

I’d hope this is the start of something where the BNP gained some prevalence then collapsed due to the scrutiny they got.

This is the next phase of reforms playbook. Villainise refugees, then move into the LGBTQ+ communities, for the ‘sake of the children’.

Nigel Farage
Is against equal marriage.
He thinks adultery is great
As a privilege, if you’re straight.

One very stable relationship is between him and Putin

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: people keep insisting ‘it can’t happen here,’ but we’re literally witnessing it happen here right now. You can talk all you want about Britain’s *secular institutions*, or our *tolerant society*, but the treatment of trans people demonstrates how rapidly all that can crumble when a little bit of far-right money is sprinkled into the right pockets.
If Farage becomes Prime Minister you can guarantee that we’ll see an erosion of broader LGBT+ rights, because that’s precisely what those paying him want.

We really are in the era of politicians saying whatever wild shit corroborates the preexisting bigotry of their cult like followers. It’s actually not fair to solely blame him for this, because he’s just regurgitating what his followers want to hear. Are the politicians bad, or are we just getting what we deserve? I’ve been following British politics closely since the Iraq war awakened me, and I honestly think we need a bit more personal responsibility as far as how fucking abysmal our politicians are. We live in an information age where you could be sat on a bus on Wandsworth bridge, and do the ten seconds or less of typing into a search engine, that would show this statement to be the bullshit that it is. We really are absolutely useless.

Lots of of the turbulance in hetero relationships can come from the difference in emotional experience between men and women.
It stands to reason that gay couples probably have an easier time seeing the same perspective.

Marriage isn’t necessarily the yard stick of stability some people think it is. Plenty of stable relationships exist where the parties aren’t married, whether hetero or homosexual.

My gay pals have the most solid relationship of any of my friends. They seem the happiest in general tbh. Might reconsider my life choices.

I think statistically gay men get divorced the least then it’s hetro marriages and lesbian marriages get divorced the most, must say something
yeastysoaps on
Based on a sample size of him, there’s like a 33% chance of a stable relationship between a woman and Nigel Farage. So either Nigel Farage is claiming he’s not a man… Or he’s grifting for some sweet, sweet US Christian Nationalist money.

Look up studies. Gay relationships are happier. Trust science, not morons.
TRDPorn on
The data shows that the most stable relationships are between men and men
Men and women are somewhere in the middle
Women and women are the least stable

Let’s chat about Nigel’s financial relationships instead.

It’s homophobic, dog whistling, hateful, and also untrue. But it won’t stop a whole shitload of people voting for him, it seems.
Genuinely it feels so hopeless to be in this country at times.

Male couples are very similar to heterosexual couples in terms of divorce rates. Lesbians are a bit hire. But honestly what’s the relevance? Are we about to stop same sex marriages based on divorce rates? Is that really the metric we care about? Especially coming from a man that’s basically a polygamist at this point.
