can you find gay couples who are faithful to each other?

Question

From what we see in the media and other sources, gays are portrayed to be very unfaithful. Is it really impossible for gay partners(especially men) to be faithful and committed to each other and not have eyes outside their relatioships(You know what I mean). I think that can be done and it will be so good. What are your views?

Answer 1

My partner and I have been in a committed, monagmous relationship for 36 years. If you look at the statistics of gay couples applying for marriage licenses many have been together for 10 years or longer.

Answer 2

The way they portray us in the media is very sad, and this is why the first thing people think of when they hear of someone that's gay, is AIDS bcuz they think that we just jump from person to person.. Yes Gay Couples can be faithful...just look at the couples on the LOGO channel... I was with my Ex- girlfriend for 4 years, without cheating or anything, it's just like every other relationship and that's what people fail to realize... Not everybody is the same, and that's why i like shows like the L word because they show Lesbian women as humans, bcuz Gays and Lesbian don't just have sex...and that's how they make us out in the media....by the way Good question

Answer 3

Unfortunately, the media portrays homosexual men and women in a manner that is meant to sell papers and further stereotypes. While it may be true that many gay men find it hard to commit to one person in a relationship, I think that there are an equal number of straight men and women in that very same boat.

I myself have been in a loving and committed relationship for 4 years and know many same sex couples that have been in committed relationships much longer than that.

Answer 4

From what I see in the media straight couples are very unfaithful. Is it really possible for heterosexual couples to be faithful and committed to each other and not have eyes outside their relationship?

Answer 5

Yep, many gay couples are faithful to each other. Since it is not as "fun" as making the rounds, though, people don't hear about faithful couples very much. Think about hetero faithful couples a minute -- how much do we hear or read about them, compared to couples (and singles) on the move? I guess being "good" just isn't as newsworthy, and the mainstream media probably is not quite daring enough to provide steady, affirmative coverage of centered, stable gay and lesbian and bisexual living.

Answer 6

It can be done. There are guys who are committed to one another. It is the media that portrays gays as unfaithful and give us bad names. Gay guys start believing that that is what they have to do

Answer 7

OK, I know it doesn't match up to others here, but we are at 3 years and going strong. Thing is, i would like to expand a little on why we slip out of the mainstream. I think that we get to the point where we just don't want or need to go out and party all the time and flit through the atmosphere. Honestly, the crowd you find out here in my hometown is about 10+years younger than I am and they have no clue when it comes to what those of us who have settled down enjoy. I guess the reason we rarely go out is that we just don't want to deal with that particualr crowd on a socail basis. no different than a hetero couple who stops going out all the time after they are married and settling down.

Answer 8

Yeah lots of them. Can you show me a hetero couple who are faithful to eachother cause theres alot of hetero permiscuity in the media too. You can't judge a group of people by the way they are portrayed in the media. Grow a brain.

Answer 9

I know of many faithful gay couple relationships. The media puts forth what they want to be true in all areas of life.

Answer 10

I've been in a committed relationship for 19 years..before that for 7 years....my brother in law has been with his partner for 39 years.....there are lots of us out there..trouble is we disappear from mainstream gay society.
