Cansu fought hard for the right to marry her wife. The response to their divorce was harsh

Cansu Col fought hard for marriage equality.

She attended protests and threw energy behind "actively supporting" the campaign, right up until gay marriage became legal in December 2017.

In 2019 she married another woman but in 2021 they divorced.

She describes herself as 'the' gay Turkish migrant in Sydney people seek suggestion from.

But she said when she desperately needed encourage and advice, it was hard to find and from some corners of the Turkish community she received the opposite.

"I got bullied," she told the Feed.

"They were negative when I got married and then they were more negative when I got divorced.

"Being Turkish, coming from a Muslim society, it's not really acceptable to get married with a woman."

After her divorce, people questioned her identity and asked her if she would marry a man.

"They were saying, 'you got what you wanted, so what do you want?'"

They challenged her on why she fought for marriage equality in the first place.

'Who's the man?' Why the gender divide in lgbtq+ relationships is a farce

What do gay women undertake in the bedroom? It is a conundrum, I have found, that seems to weigh heavily on many an inquiring heterosexual mind. Who makes the bed, for example? Who folds the laundry? Who pulls out the drill to hang a picture?

A new study, presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association, found that when it comes to same-sex couples, most Americans believe the “more masculine” partner and the “more feminine” loved one should be responsible for stereotypically male and female chores. The study also found that people were more likely to evaluate there to be a distinct “man” and a “woman” in lesbian relationships than they were when it came to same-sex attracted male couples. Probably, you know, because the plan of there being no male presence at all in a relationship is utterly unfathomable.

I’ve spent most of my relationship years in same-sex relationships. During this time many a moron has asked me “who is the man?” Normally I have ignored these people. However, this study made me rethink my views. If there’s a way to receive out of doing the cooking and cleaning, I’m intere

10 Interesting Facts About Matching Sex Marriage and Divorce

Eight years after same-sex marriage was written into commandment, we’re looking at these major life events by the numbers. 

1. Same-sex marriages are on the rise.

This is the eighth year since same-sex marriages possess been possible; around one in 35 marriages are now among same-sex couples. Just shy of 7,000 same-sex couples tied the knot in 2018, according to the Office of National Statistics. Covid stalled the wedding industry, with fewer couples saying ‘I do’ in 2020 than in previous years. But pandemic aside, the overall trend is up. 

2. Civil partnerships have fallen out of favour.

The introduction of civil partnerships in December 2005 saw huge numbers of same-sex couples rushing to become civil partners, stabilising at around 6,000 civil partnerships a year in the late 2000s. Today, there are just over 1,000 civil partnerships a year, as marriage is now the preferred union for same-sex couples.

3. Men and older couples are more likely to form a civil partnership.

The couples most likely to choose to build a civil partnership are male or over 50. Nearly two-thirds of all civil partnerships formed in 2018 were bet

Gay marriage data shows more women are tying the knot

Kate Mackie loves a wedding. So much so that she goes to them most weekends.

Well, as a celebrant, or, the wedding singer.

She did however stroll down the corridor twice with her first true devotion, Leonie Clark.

First for a commitment ceremony in 2011 — when gay marriage was still illegal in Australia — and then they made it "official" on the alike spring day last year in Brisbane.

"The happiness was at the next level because it had meant so much to finally, finally, actually be announced as legally married," she said.

Up until gay marriage was legalised the number of women and men walking down the aisle was, obviously, equal.

But numbers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, released this week, showed that female couples were significantly more likely to tie the knot than gay men.

Female couples made up 57.8 per cent of the 6,538 gay marriages across the nation in 2018, but was as high as 66 per cent in Western Australia and 65 per cent in Tasmania.

Recent (2019) Marriages to Same-Sex and Different-Sex Couples: Marital History and Age at Marriage

Six years ago, the US Supreme Court ruled that marriages to same-sex couples were legal in all states, prompting the US Census Bureau to rewrite their household rosters to directly enumerate same-sex and different-sex married and cohabiting couples. Using statistics from the ACS 1-year PUMS files from 2019 (the first time the revised roster was implemented), we give the most recent American Community Survey (ACS) estimates of individuals entering into a same-sex marriage. We compare lgbtq+ newlyweds to different-sex newlyweds based on their marital history, average age at most recent marriage, and couple’s age gap (including 95% confidence intervals).  First marriage refers to a first marriage for both members of the couple and remarriage refers to a remarriage for at least one member of the couple. Analyses are limited to householders and spouses of householders. Mention, while the terms “sex” and “gender” are not interchangeable, because the ACS survey questionnaire uses the term “sex,” we have opted to do so as well.
