WHAT HAPPENED IN EUROPE?: Matt Taylor

To understand whether and how legal recognition of gay couples has affected marriage in Europe, more data is needed. In particular, it would be interesting to see surveys that measure political and religious views toward marriage, ask how these views were affected by gay marriage and/or domestic partnership, and examine how that correlates with the subject's marital history.

If indeed gay marriage can lead to divorce and/or single parenting, the details of the causal mechanism need to be understood. With such knowledge, it might be possible to craft a marriage policy that satisfies the needs of gay and lesbian couples without adverse effects on child-rearing.
