Obrigada pelo entusiasmo Carlão! Na verdade utilizaram um dos meus artigos pra escrever a reportagem. Então entraram em contato comigo pra checar as informações se estavam corretas. Tô feliz que usaram o trabalho pra chamar atenção pra temática de relacionamentos LGB e mercado de trabalho.

Heterosexual women experience an earnings decline after marriage, while changes in earnings tied to relationships are minimal and non-significant for bisexual and lesbian women.

Cohabiting or married men generally earn more than single men—regardless of sexual identity.

But for gay men, this "relationship premium" only appears after marriage, not cohabitation.

In contrast, heterosexual and bisexual men see earnings gains after entering any co-residential relationship.
