Gay and lesbian couples are a lot more mature, more considerate in trying to improve a relationship

I haven't read all of the posts, so this may be repetitive, but give me a friggin' break!

I have known gay and lesbian people most of my life. In the pre-AIDs days, gay men were some of the most notoriously immature people I have ever met. I won't go into the sexual escapades, whoring, etc. that went on. From my viewpoint now, this hasn't changed that much - constantly changing partners, drug use and abuse, physical abuse run rampant. And God help you once you get older.

Regarding lesbians, I do think that they can have more longstanding and mature relationships due to the different sexual nature of women vs men, but I have known plenty that were as bad as the men.

There is nothing that I want to learn from gay or lesbian relationships in general. I do think that particular people can always teach us something, but to say that gays have better relationships is just not true.

I have gay people in my family. However, they are older now and matured when most gays were in the closet. I'm not saying whether this is right or wrong. It must be difficult to live that way. However, they seem to be much better balanced people than the young gays I've met. They are people, workers, family members first - their sexuality doesn't come into it.

Jeez, this is crap is going on at my school...

I have gay family members who I care about but disaggree with extremely. They are very immature. Fights stem from what the other one is wearing to what they do. It is like watching two catty high school girls that are in extreme competition of one another. Also the turn over rates are so high in these cases. I have been a happily married heterosexual for 12 yrs-- in that time I have watched the homosexual part of the family go through tons of different relationships-Close to 7 to 8 relationships.
