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.

    We have the highest reported rate of domestic violence, though honestly I suspect . . .

    Yes, this is what I was talking about. Reported? Citation needed, otherwise we just feed TMB's rather sick fantasy life. And you suspect? Plausible, but not better then our Carrion Vulture's surmise. Here is my suggestion: how about we stick to verifiable facts on issues like this, otherwise Runaway2000 will stop by to tell us what he thinks, and no one wants that!
