The problem with this kind of statistic is that it's the epitome of correlation != causation, or putting the cart before the horse. It's entirely possible, even likely, that the marriages only "creates" stability in relationships that were already going to be stable to begin with. Unstable gay relationships or gay people with personality types unlikely to lead to stable relationships would never get married to begin with, so it would drastically skew the results of any such surveys.
I'd argue that the results of lesbian marriage support this hypothesis; people are going to be who they're going to be regardless of whether they're married or not.
Well I guess that begs the question, out of the number of gay (not lesbian) relationships out there, how many are stable and how many are the promiscuous type?
A majority of the Cluster B borderline/narcissistic types are women, and I can't imagine what happens when two Cluster B lesbians marry each other, but statistics prove it never ends well.
But for men do we know what the stable vs unstable rates are? For every Dave Rubin (yeah yeah yeah, I know you guys don't like him, bear with me here) how many Carlos Maza types are there?
As an anecdote, there is an extremely high rate of transmittance of monkeypox among gays right now, which gives me the impression that there's way less "stable" relationships and way more open relationships where they're mansluts.
I don't think that having a title causes stable relationships. I think that following the outline of what a "good marriage" is highly beneficial. Obviously marrying your abuser doesn't do anything good, but the point is that when people follow good behaviors, their life tends to dramatically improve. We call that set of good behaviors in a relationship a "marriage".
