Seems as though this post has probably been inactive for a while- nonetheless I need to post this. I am a South African gay who recently came out. Stories like these not only make me more patriotic (if possible) but also make me extremely thankful/grateful for living in such an accepting country. Thank you for this post

Ans is the very important part of human body. without it the body is become dirty in really. its keep the body clean by the inside and not to store dirt in body. so the Anus is the very best part of body.

"Sexual orientation and its basis in brain structure and function". Could not the same be true for pedophiles? Kleptomaniacs? Pyromaniacs?

I beleive if you need approval from others on who to love then you are not even in control of youre own life, who the fuck gives a fuck what others think of youre relationship. do you love who your with, or do you just need approval from others. I am gay, came out when I was 15, met mike when I was 19, 10 years later still going strong, reason being mike is more important to me than the opinions of a bunch of stupid fucking cult headed religous cunt wads with no logical ambition in life but to ignore the logical and beleive in shit that just aint real and then expect us all to be as fucking stupid as thay are. If the opinion of others is more important than your partner than you do not truley love that person, so do this, fuck god, fuck homofobes, fuck your family your freinds, fuck them all, because in the end none of those mother fuckers would choose your opinion over their lovers.

I absolutely agree with this article.

I'm a 27 year old gay man and I've been in an amazingly happy and supportive relationship for 3 years. We've had our ups and downs, but I feel like they're similar to any heterosexual couple; especially when I compare them to my heterosexual friends. While each group has varying experiences, we're actually not that different.

I feel like I bought into the "relationships don't last, people cheat, etc." theories in the past. But I've come to realize it's just a myth. It's propagated by heterosexuals, by the media, and even within the gay community. Sure, examples of that are out there; however it exists just as much in the heterosexual community. It's also exaggerated how often it happens because of social norms.

If you want to have a great, long-lasting relationship as a gay man, you most certainly can. You have to put work into it and into yourself - just like any other model relationship.

I am a single gay man. 43 years old. I have not been able to make a gay relationship go the distance for longer than 9 months at a time. Im not sure if its lack of suport form parents, being able to talk openly at work, pressure of working shift work or what..!! I think my last r-ship went wrong because I needed to work a lot of extra hours, and my partner wanted to be out all the time drinking with his mates..and still wanted his freedom..!!! In most gay relationships that have lasted over a year, one or both partners WILL have cheated anyway..!!

I am a "gym rat" gay man that has always prefered older men. Now that I am 47 I still prefere men at least 10 yrs or more older than myself. The most attractive man I know is 74.

What about those religions where homosexuality is embraced and accepted? What about atheists who wish to marry? What about the fact that marriage originally had no religious connotations and was created by Christianity?

2010-01-22T06:40:25.294-08:00

Such secrecy was true for most of modern times, but go even farther back and the story is somewhat different. Also different cultures treated it differently in ancient times. Repression is not the natural state for humanity. But I do have to laugh at people who claim that there were no gay people simply because it wasn't talked about.

I just lived through having marriage stripped away out here in Maine.... and you said it all right here.... when we vote .. and half of those voting really believe that being gay is a choice .... we are always going to be screwed!

Thanks for that insight Perry.

A couple of notes/questions though!

Are childless married couples (either by choice or through an inability to have children) more similar to gay relationships?

Are gay couples with children involved more similar to straight relationships?

What is interesting is, we have a story lined up of an example of a long term gay coupling where one side has revealed that its "too late to find someone else and I'm used to the company". Is that more akin to a "straight" reason to stay together?

We disagree that gay relationships are easier to be in than straight ones (Betty Berzon's "Permanent Partners" argues this point well). As you've said, it involves shared feelings, values and desires. They are more often than not more difficult to express and gain acceptance through most social structures (GayTruth has a couple of articles touching on this too).

The "boredom" factor isn't any more unique or common in gay relationships than straight ones (again, you'll find an article on our site that provides you with some examples). It is merely a part of human nature, whether people decide to act on it or not - openly or otherwise.

The line between straight and gay couples is very, very blurred. Without the invisibility, you'd find there are more similarities between them than not. The differences are mostly wedged by social constructs. The comparison is therefore more akin to an orange in a refrigerator, and one outside. They're the same thing, experiencing different forms nurture.

2009-12-28T05:53:04.228-08:00

Comparing gay and straight relationships is really like comparing apples and oranges: countless straights in relationships stay together "because of the children." They are forced into loveless, stressful marriages. Gay men, for the most part, are not in this boat: our relationships stay together out of shared feelings, values, desires. I have been with a partner for almost 30 years; it seems like no time at all, because we have both changed so much during those 30 years, as most partners do; it's hard to look back and see the same person there from 30 years back, that has kept this wonderful thing very fresh. I'm afraid I can't see gay marriage as for the "fat, dumpy, over 55 and fear of dying alone crowd." Most of the fat, dumpy men I know are alone. Gay marriage is an intensely personal and romantic arrangement, and it has little to do with age, physical shape, or even economics. It's what you want out of life. The real truth though, which I revealed in my book "How to Survive Your Own Gay Life," is that gay relationships are easier than straight ones: we don't have the endless wars of the sexes going on. What we do have is a problem with boredom. When you both play with the same equipment, you need to change balls more often. Some men get over that by organizing a lot of creative play—something many straights would give their right arms to do.

Beautiful.

Rick, doesn't your logic apply to heterosexuals also? Think about it.

For the record, we're not fat. Definitely not dumpy. We're in our 20s and 30s. Yes, we're gay. Some of us are married. This particular writer has been in a monogamous relationship for 5 years.

Ironically, in the time we've been together, we've seen countless heterosexual relationships and marriages begin and end.

2009-06-10T01:56:46.274-07:00

The fun of gay life (as heavily advertised everywhere in gay areas and media) is the promiscuity. Gays are currently in denial that exists but it's so easy to see. Sure some want the domestic life but in the end the promiscuity will win out. Just check in with these married couples in a few years, see how monogamous they are if they're even still married. I'm not against gay marriage but it's common knowledge in the gay world that gay marriage is for the fat, dumpy, over 55 and fear of dying alone crowd. The ones who make the gay world go around have no interest in it. It gets in the way of going out and having a life.

I love this. Well put.

It is extremely sad that this happens all too often. Yet when it comes to something against homosexuality you see it all over the place. It really pisses me off.
