A new report asserts that, despite the international push for same-sex marriage in the name of civil rights, few gays and lesbians are taking advantage of legal wedded bliss, and many of those who are, end up filing for divorce.
According to a report in the Economist, the number of gay marriages has been far smaller than ever predicted.
Despite more and more countries legalising gay marriage, the number of gay weddings are not as high as expected https://t.co/wDqR0Hl0sX

In the United States, only one in ten gays and lesbians have entered into a same-sex marriage, and in the U.K., less than 6,000 such weddings took place when at least 9,000 were expected.
“Opponents of gay marriage sometimes fret that it will spoil straight people’s appetite for the traditional kind, but no evidence for this has emerged,” the report states.
“It hasn’t taken off as I would have hoped,” said Emma Joanne of Shotgun Weddings, a photography firm based in gay-friendly Brighton in Britain.
While lesbian marriages are more likely to occur than those between men, they are also more likely to head for divorce, notes the report.
