I never would have expected it when I was a conflicted bisexual kid, but my wife and I get complements on our relationship sometimes, by straight people.
Two that stand out: Once a woman who rides the same bus home we do told us her daughter came out to her, and watching us made her feel better about the girl's future!
The other was more recent. We're starting an interior design/decor business. Toward the end of our last job, the client smiled and said, "People should know what to expect just by looking at you two. Cozy and super-modern, somehow harmonizing beautifully!"
How about y'all--have you ever gotten positive comments on same-sex relationships by straights? What sweet things did they say?

I got the two best compliments from my son and my ex husband.
The one from my ex husband was: You two have done a wonderful job raising that boy. (His and my son) I don't think I could have done any better.
The other was from my son:
It was a statement he made regarding seating placement for his upcoming High School Graduation. He told me and my partner that if it came down to the school holding the cerimonies indoors and they restrict seating to only two tickets per student, that my partner and I were to be the one's who get them, not his father. His reasoning was that WE were the one's who raised him, not his father.
I've gotten many other compliments from friends and even a few from coworkers or even strangers, but I have to say the one from my son means the most to me.

Yes, actually. People say things like Wow, I can't believe you've lasted longer than most straight relationships. Those are the straight ones, the gay ones are amazed we're still together as well.
I went into this with the idea of for better or for worse and I'm a man of my word. It's how I'm put together.

yes, since I have been with my current partner (over 2 1/2 years now...), a lot of my friends (and hers) have told us we make a great couple. I've been told how much happier I seem to be with her (my previous relationship was very emotionally difficult). I've had online friends look at our pictures and comment, "love is beautiful."
