First New Zealand lesbian ‘marriage’ over already?

New Zealand ’s first same-sex “marriage” is shaping up to become the country’s first same-sex divorce. Less than a year since they became the poster girls for the country’s new legal definition of marriage (last August) the  NZ Herald reports  that Melissa Ray , a former Ferns football player, and Natasha Vitali, a sales rep, are “believed to have split”.

Both sides lack evidence on the real-world effects of same-sex marriage. Yet evidence is in. Marriage is dying in Scandinavia , which has had marriage-like same-sex registered partnerships for over a decade. Data from European demographers and statistical bureaus show that a majority of children in Sweden and Norway are now born out of wedlock, as are 60 percent of first-born children in Denmark. In socially liberal districts of Norway, where the idea of same-sex registered partnerships is widely accepted, marriage itself has almost entirely disappeared
