State with lowest divorce rate...legalized gay marriage.

It is quite misleading if the title of the thread is apparently off-limits for comment which is what I got scolded on.

BTW, not all conservatives are bible-thumpers. Quite the contrary in some cases.

But your comments had nothing to do with what the title said. The title of the thread says nothing about gay marriage leading to less divorce. It says that Massachusetts has the lowest divorce rate and legalized gay marriage, which is a fact.

And there is no implied correlation in the juxtaposition of the two?

Honestly?

There is and implication, but no the one you leaped to. The implication I read in the title, and that was expressed in the article, is that it's ridiculous that the loudest voices for "family values" produce the highest divorce rates. It shines a pretty glaring spotlight on the argument against gay marriage being the sanctity of marriage when, at least form a population-statistics perspective, the people who are for gay marriage seem to have a much better handle on the sanctity of marriage than those that are against.

Nowhere do I see an implication that gay marriage itself is the cause of the lower divorce rate.

The grammar thread is that way >
