Same-sex Marriage in Mass.

I heard Rachel Maddow say this on the radio: in the 5 years that same-sex marriage has been legal in Massachusetts, the total divorce rate there has dropped from 2.2 per 1000 per year to 2.0 per 1000 per year. Kind of undercuts the argument that SS marriage will lead to the destruction of the "institution of marriage." (I never understood what that was supposed to mean anyway.)

{OK, I suspect divorce rates are dropping in many other places as well, which usually happens in difficult economic times. But you take statistics where you can get them.}
