J. Rosenfeld, a professor of sociology at Stanford, said a long history
of studies including a large-scale one of his own, based on census

traditional parents.
Countering
concerns raised that same-sex couples are inherently less stable, he
said that research showed that “formal union has the same
relation-preserving effect for same-sex couples as it always had for
heterosexual couples.”
“There’s no evidence whatsoever that same-sex marriage has any effect on heterosexual marriage,” he added."
