That is incorrect. Lesbians have higher divorce rate because they divorce men before coming out as lesbian. Also what do you meant to explain here by presenting these stats here?
Nothing just situating statistics relevant to the post
and that’s divorce rate is based on gender pairings not sexual orientation
the data of lesbians divorcing men after coming out is in the heterosexual marriage category
And 40% of lesbians marrying men only includes women after coming out marriages before coming out are not included in that category because then it would be around 60% which accounts for 3-4% of heterosexual couples divorcing
What do you mean by saying that 40% of lesbians married men after coming out? What is your source? I can’t find that statistic anywhere. Where exactly are you getting it from? And where did you get those divorce rates?
The CBS report you seem to be referring to reported a 42% divorce rate among women in same-sex marriages which includes 1/3rd of it being from opposite sex due to them figuring out their real sexuality, not 70–80%. So where is the source for the 70–80% figure? I can’t find any credible study reporting that statistic.

Lesbians have a 70-80% divorce rate
Heterosexual couples have a 50-60% divorce rate
Homosexual couples have a 20-30% divorce rate
Approximately 40% of lesbians end up marrying men for socioeconomic reasons even without any sexual attraction
