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.

That question about single married divorced widowed, is that how the US still collects demographic data?

It seems odd, given the choices in other sections reflect modern life more.

Yes, I was going to add "complicated" and maybe other options, but ultimately I decided not to but maybe I should? This was a generated question so that should answer your question.

I think though if it's of interest of people maybe I should. What do you think?

Single, married, divorced, and widowed are legal concepts that cover everything that can without being overcomplicated with a million personal preferences and 'complicated' is meaningless without every single unique person's context.

Or add a separate question about whether they feel their situation is more complicated than that without muddling clear answers on legal status.

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.
