Although family scholars have observed for decades now that young adults are anxious about divorce, research has focused exclusively on those who identify as heterosexual. In this presentation, I analyze data from an online, mixed-methods survey to explore how unmarried young adults in the LGBTQ community think about divorce. Results indicate that although respondents broadly agree that they would be willing to divorce under at least some circumstances, there is considerable variation in terms of how willing or reluctant respondents are to getting a divorce.
