No, as long as both parties are commited and are on equal terms in their relationship, it is no less real than an heterosexual relationship.
Of course one could argue that there are homosexual relationships that are just for sex, and I would also say that there are plenty of heterosexual relationships that are there plainly for sex, nothing more:)

What is a "real" relationship? If by that you mean do homosexuals truly love each other as much as heterosexuals, then yes they are just as real. Homosexual men (in my experience) are more likely to have open relationships, but they will stay together for years and really love one another. Lesbians, on the other hand, seem to have even deeper and closer relationships than heterosexuals (probably because women are more openly loving/caring than men to begin with). Spend some time with a homosexual couple and you will see.

Since the essential illness of homosexuality is Clinical_Denial, or being caught up in a delusional belief while in denial of ones delusion, we would have to conclude that a homosexual relationship is doubly delusional relative to a conventional relationship.

My wife and I are physically attracted to each other. We have very compatible personalities and enjoy many of the same things. We allow each other the independence to explore new ideas, and support each other's goals. We have our disagreements like any normal relationship, but in the end we are totally committed to each other. It's as real as it gets, and we love each other dearly.
Now if you can explain how two people of the same sex are incapable of all of the above just because they're gay, then you're missing the point of being human.

Yes, because it's based on something that can never happen in a homosexual relationship. When a man and woman have sex, they become "One Flesh". A homosexual can never have that "oneness" with his "partner". But, we should love'm anyway! God does. He just hates the "act" of homosexuality.

Why should it be? I believe that if two people love each other, that is a relationship no matter if it's a a homo or hetero couple

Relationships are meant to be a man and a woman.
Same sex relationships cannot be whole...
The whole gay mess is delusional.
Let's call a sin a sin.
