Admittedly not, but the current circumstances that gay relationships happen in (and lets not be naive - the circumstances they will probably happen in for a good few years to come yet) mean that any relationship that reaches the stage of marriage has already withstood a significant test of time and adverse surroundings. As Willow said; this has statistical evidence to support it. Not because being gay makes you more prone to longer relationships but ecause of the way gay relationships are treated at present.
No need to get a bee in the bonnet about this contention, its not attacking gays or putting them apart from straight people. The only difference I can see is that the theory observes that they are treated differently by society as a whole. Sadly thats pretty irrefutable.
