How often has it been said ......
"They can't be gay, they are married!" ?

The chances are that if you are reading this page, you are gay, lesbian
or bisexual and possibly married also, or in a relationship with such a

If the latter, the chances are that you are seeking to answer questions

No one knows the statistics of marriages where one partner or the other
is gay, but it is suspected that it happens far more frequently than
society would lead us to believe. In the majority of cases, the straight
spouse might be totally unaware of the true sexuality of their partner.
When and if they discover the whole truth, it can be devastating, often
leading to the break up of the marriage. But in some cases, particularly
where the relationship between spouses is strong, the marriage can
survive, although it is believed that only about 20 or 25% do survive
which makes depressing reading.
There are marriages where one partner knew about the sexuality of the
other partner before marriage took place. Whereas the partners have been
more honest with each other, that is not to say that the marriage will
be any more successful than ones where the partners have been less
honest with each other.
