No, you're right, it's not there, but I agree it should have been. I did a little digging though and found the numbers. Over the past ten years the total number of marriage fluctuated around 70.000 per year. This means the number of same-sex marriage is a steady 2% of the total. ( Source )

As of April 1st it will have been 15 years since same-sex marriage became legal in the Netherlands Yay In view of this anniversary the (Dutch) bureau for statistics made a nice summary of all the same-sex marriage of these past 15 years. See HERE for the full report (in English) with fancy graphs and everything. One of the most striking finds, and one I found quite surprising, is that the 15-year divorce rate for lesbian-marriages is twice that of gay- and straight-marriages. Gay-marriage, in turn, has a lower divorce rate than straight-marriage (15% vs 18%). There does not appear to be a clear reason why lesbians are more prone to divorce, so, does anyone care to speculate?

It is interesting to use twitter data in this way, but I'd have to agree with many posters here that I'm not sure how meaningful these results are. There are just too many unknowns in their method for me not to be very skeptical. Anyway, after some clicking I did find the list of 'derogatory' keywords in their search. Here's what they used (although I have no idea what they did with 'neutral language' hits): The full list is here

Scandinavia and the World is brilliant, love that one.

Personally I very much like Isaac Asimov's take on writing fiction versus science fiction:

I just came across this video and just had to share it - you'll see why ( it's in German, but you can turn on the subtitles if needed )

With great fanfare and a drum-roll it was announced today that, for the very first time, a gravitational wave has been detected! The gravitational wave, which is a ripple in space and time, was caused by the violent collision and merger of two black holes. This discovery is really a monumental achievement, which will surely be awarded a nobel prize in the near future. See here for a very nice discussion on why this is so amazingly awesome.

That's awesome Anyway, this reads like a bad case of Google translate to me. It's really almost a shame those translating engines are slowly getting better.

Passenger - Golden Leaves

Here are a couple more that I don't think were mentioned yet: Angels in America (2003 - HBO miniseries) Freier Fall (2013) - German one, bit moody, but pretty good (some excplicitness if I recall correctly) Pride ( 2014) - Wonderful movie, I love this one.
