I’m curious about the demographic makeup of Kbin. As we are still in it’s infancy I feel that most lean towards a certain way, so I made this survey just now to find out. I encourage you to join in, and you can skip any and every question if you so choose. You can view the results at the bottom of the page.
I guess this must apply to the society you and @Peacemeal12 live in, for sure. But I was actually talking about legal terms.
Where I live, civil unions and common law (de facto) relationships of more than 2 years have the exact same legal standing as marriage.
So the question usually includes De Facto, and Married or in a Civil Union.
If they are the same as marriage then that is a distinction without a difference.
Depends on the purpose of the demographics.
I think collecting the stats on it first is probably a big part of why we slowly changed our laws to give them all the same rights - when we saw how many people were being affected.
