SWEDISH LESBIANS: Justin Katz
[Now
there's a headline that should rake in the Google hits.... Anyway, there are all kinds of fascinating nuggets in
that study of Swedish same-sex unions (PDF), and although I need to spend a
lot more time with the data before I can comment, I do hope others will also take a look. Justin offers some highly speculative thoughts about gender and relationships, but also writes the following paragraph, w/which I agree. --Eve]
In contrast (apparently) to Vermont, 62% of same-sex marriages in Sweden were between men. That near-reversal points to the first obvious disclaimer to any analysis in the context of the American debate: cultural differences likely exist even between the corresponding subcultures of the Sweden and the United States. The second obvious disclaimer, at least for me, is that suggestions, at this point, are purely speculative, and in-depth research for such factors as couples' attitudes and practices will be necessary.
