Despite the many challenges faced by people in a same-sex relationship, a study made by two students of the University of Queensland concluded that this kind of relationship is happier compared to the normal relationship we know as male to female bond.

Researchers Francisco Perales and Janeen Baxter said that the conclusion of their study is a strong counter-narrative to the usual thinking that same-sex relationships are conflictual, unhappy, and dysfunctional.

The conclusion of the study, which was published in the academic journal Family Relations, was derived after the researchers surveyed 25,000 people in the United Kingdom and 9,000 others in Australia.

    Can we all say "Propaganda"? Thought so. Remember kids, what is Law #1 of SJWs?

    This isn't even a hard call, we can believe this improbable propaganda claiming that busted, dysfunctional people suddenly flip their statistical tendency toward shortened lives and horrible ends by getting "fake married" or we can assume they are lying bastards pushing an agenda and that internal writing such as 2 Studies That Prove Domestic Violence Is an LGBT Issue [advocate.com] is probably more accurate.

    Study obviously rebuttaled. Just look at jmorris. Definitely not happy. Guess he should have married a SJW, variety is the spice of life, they say!
