Men in same-sex marriages are living longer, study says

[closeupready]

Countdown to fundies claiming, ironically, the science is wrong on this (as if! LOL):

>>Men in same-sex marriages are living longer, according to Danish researchers, but mortality rates among married lesbians have begun to rise after a long period of decline.

The study, published Tuesday in the International Journal of Epidemiology, used Denmark's civil registry to follow 6.5 million adults from 1982 to 2011. The study is the first of its kind to examine mortality -- the risk of death during a specific period of time -- and relationship status for an entire nation.

"Our study expands on century-old knowledge that married people generally have lower mortality than unmarried and divorced persons," wrote the lead author, Dr. Morten Frisch, a professor of epidemiology at Aalborg University. "From a public health viewpoint it is important to try and identify those underlying factors and mechanisms."<<

1. 3 reasons. 1. No one is nagging them about putting the toilet seat down

2. Every night out is a night out with the guys.

3. Both members of the relationship know how to use the tv remote.

I'm oh so kidding......
