Massachusetts, the first US state to have legalized gay marriage, frequent attractor of hate from the "family values" crowd, has the lowest divorce rate in the US (2.4 per 1000 persons) and the lowest teenage pregnancy rate in the US (7.9% of pregnancies). For comparison, Texas, a bastion of "family values" (and executions), leads the nation in teenage pregnancy (16.4% of pregnancies); states in the Bible Belt (Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas) have divorce rates approximately 1.5 times the US average of 4.1 divorces per 1000 persons.

1. State-sponsored totalitarian control of women and/or children, characterized by flagrant sexist double standards, authorities turning a blind eye to domestic violence, rape, and pedophilia--but only when men do it, and intolerance of freedom of religion, speech, and assembly, among other undesirable things.
No wonder Bush and the Saudis are so tight! They both share the same idea of family values--blame the rape victims and victims of domestic violence for "allowing" themselves to be victimized by male predators twice their size, as if the women were the criminals instead of the real perps--the rapists and wife-beaters who get off scot-free!
