WHAT THEY DID FOR LOVE: Maggie, again

Here, for example, are findings from a 1983 study of 66 gays and lesbians in Portland, Oregon who either were or had been married, and who had children. "Love of spouse" was the second most common reason lesbians gave for marrying a man and the most common reason gay men listed for marrying women. Three out of ten lesbians considered their marriages satisfying, compared to 56 percent of gay husbands.
