It’s worth noting here that Rosen herself is a lesbian who has switched partners, and with two adopted children at stake to boot. She broke up with Elizabeth Birch, then hooked up with head of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten. The children spend time split between Birch and Rosen. If this is the way to “cure marriage,” then Rosen certainly doesn’t have the answers.
As to Rosen’s point that tons of men are dying to marry men and women are dying to marry women is also statistically false. The marriage rate between members of the same sex has lagged far behind that of members of the opposite sex in countries that have allowed it, like Sweden and the Netherlands. In the United States, there is always a quick jump out of the gate for same-sex partners looking to get married in states that allow it, but that rate falls off dramatically in following years.
The fact is that Rosen isn’t making an argument here. She’s making a pronouncement.
