I always find it interesting the discussions like this come up and or questions like these come up. Why do we never question, "Do straight relationships place to much importance on sex?

We don't give the latter questions because we feel that is none of our business. So then why is it our business what two other people do just because they are different they we are?

Ironically this question has a clear cut answer! The answer is NO.

Based on the question alone it is clearly stating a relationship and not two people running around having sex. And I can tell you the latter happens in both heterosexual and homosexual people.

What people need to know and understand is the main thing they forget. It is not about sex or the act of, it is about who you are attracted to and who you love.

In fact I have seen both "straight" couples and "gay" couples together at the same get together and I can say from experience that it is generally the "straight" couple who are all over each other and "need to get a room".

In fact what I have seen and viewed from homosexual couples is genuine love and caring for each other and I have yet to see the push for sex in public at all.

Are there people who do that? You bet, but that comes from all people, from all walks of life.

This is a total stereotype question, it reminds me of "back in the day", when all "blacks" ate watermelon. All "whites" were stuck up and prejudice. Don't we have enough prejudice going on in the world that we don't need to single out more people?

What any couple, whether straight or gay does in the privacy of their home is their business and should be left this way.

Who are we to even question anyone else's relationships.

If we are to do so then I would like to ask: Why is it that so many straight Christian people get divorced all the time?

I believe the bible when Jesus said "worry about the plank in your own eye before worrying about the speck in another's".

Plato said: we were all created with our perfect one connected to our backs, the god's got angry and separated all mankind and that is why we spend our entire lives looking for our other half, to be whole again.

If two people are happy, let them be happy. And if you find that you cannot this is because you are not happy, so find your own happiness and live and let live.
