"Kruger said in 2023 that heterosexual marriage was "the only basis for a safe and successful society." In answering Farage, a man twice married and currently separated from wife number two, said, "the most stable relationships tend to be between men and women." The MP for Clacton then added, "I think one thing for certain is children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life."
"What Farage clearly was unaware of were statistics from the Office for National Statistics showing that 103,816 legal partnership were dissolved in 2023. And only 1,891 of those (1.8%) were same-sex relationships. So, here's a list of some successful "stable" LGBTQ+ relationships that we know of, just to prove Farage wrong. Elton John and David Furnish These two have been together since 1993, marrying in 2014 after entering a civil partnership in 2005. We consider that pretty "stable.""
Nigel Farage and Danny Kruger expressed that heterosexual marriages tend to be the most stable and that children with two stable parents fare better. National statistics show 103,816 legal partnerships were dissolved in 2023, with only 1,891 dissolutions (1.8%) involving same-sex couples. Multiple high-profile LGBTQ+ couples demonstrate long-term stability, including Elton John and David Furnish (together since 1993, married 2014), Miriam Margolyes and Heather Sutherland (together since 1968), Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka (together a decade before marrying in 2014), and Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita (married 2013).
