Most gay men do not fall into the heterosexist gender role game.
They realize there is no such thing as "woman's work". Things that need doing get done by either who enjoys doing them the most or who hates doing them the least. You must learn to use your talents in a complementary fashion in order to make sure everything that needs to be done, is done.

It's wierd but ...
there seems to be a dominant and passive one. One does more traditional male roles while the other usually does some traditional female roles. Fortunately, both can mow the lawn without the neighbors think the "husband" is cruel for letting his "wife" mow the lawn. I don't think they take the "woman" role but rather the passive role. Some Hetero marriages the woman is dominant. That does not make her the "man."

My bf and I see each other as men. I'm not sure I understand the question. Why would you think someone would take the role of a female in a gay relationship? A gay relationship has nothing to do with women, it's 2 men.

Gays feel both of them are men. Even if one acts in an effeminate way, he is never JUST LIKE a girl. If he was, most gay men would be turned off by him, since gays aren't emotionally or physically attracted to women. Gay female impersonators, however, are a catagory all their own and are most closely related to the fetish world (they should NEVER be confused with transgendered people, though. A female impersonator is a male who just likes dressing as a woman, but doesn't wish to be one. A transgendered person wishes to be the sex they dress as.)

While my husband and I are certainly both men and think of each other as men someone has to cook the dinner and someone has to cut the grass. So by THOSE standards I would be 'the woman', however sexually I am the top and he is the bottom, 100% of the time. I cook, clean and decorate and throw the parties...he changes the oil, makes more $$, can build anything you want, takes care of the yard........so we are just two men.

In more traditional cultures the gay couples seem to divide the role between a 'man' and his 'wife' in the relationship. In most modern gay relationships they see each other as men and there is not distiction between a man and woman roles.
I do not want a wife. I am a man and want a man. If I want a wife , i will get a biological woman.

That really depends on the couple and their personal views on gender roles.
The idea of gender roles is a social construct and an abusive myth.
Even in opposite sex couples gender roles aren't strictly adheared to either. So, don't read into same sex couples anymore than the individuals who make up the couples.

They're both men, and they like it that way. In the old days, there would sometimes be one who dressed as a woman so they could pass for a straight couple, but that was just so they wouldn't get arrested or beaten. Nowadays that kind of crossdressing virtually never happens.

That's such a black-and-white way of looking at it... it depends on the couple, but I'm sure that they both realize they're men. Some are just bottoms, some are tops, and some are versatile. *winks*
By the way, it's not as if a woman is ONLY the bottom... *rolls eyes*

Feminine tops, masculine bottoms, passive tops and aggressive bottoms. Isn't one of the big points of the LBGT movement that we aren't bound by gender stereotypes? In a gay relationship, you can hardly expect to draw such clean lines; they barely exist in modern heterosexual relationships. Sometimes it can be hard for gay relationships, having no social stereotype to lean on, but by forging their own path, they have a more mutally satisfying relationship. They're called "partners" for a reason.
