I was watching According to Jim yesterday w/ my Grandma (I do it for her lol... I hate that show), and it was an episode about 2 gay guys and Jim. At the end of the epidsode, Jim says "I hope they feel... Whatever gay men feel for eachother." Or something along those lines.
The episode didn't offend me (I don't really get offended). It got me thinking, though; do most straight people realize that gay people actually love eachother when they're in a relationship, or do they just think its about sex?
I'm gay, so I never have really thought about love from a heterosexual point of view, or what they think of homosexuals' emotional love.

My view on gay love is that it's the same as straight love. It's about being with the one that makes you happy, the one that you would do anything for, the one that makes your days brighter.

Come on, let us think think this through. Gays/Lesbians are people, fellow human beings, and one of the characteristics of being human is being able to love. They may physically express the sexual act a bit differently from the straights but emotionally they are the same so why should they not feel the same love that straights do? Duh-h-h.
My question is why do so many straights feel they are less than human and react with so much surprise when they feel the same emotions as any other human being?

Some make the connection, some don't. Some only go by the externals, by what they see, like the sex. Some are incapable for some reason of understanding that the emotions and attractions are identical to heterosexual experience except for switching genders.

As a straight guy I figured it was about the same. It doesn't bother me what people do in the privacy of their own homes, but I still get a but uncomfortable seeing public displays of gay male affection... I have no problem watching 2 girls get it on, and I suppose that makes me a hypocrite, but oh well...
What two guys feel for each other is their own business and nobody else's... same goes for straight people.

I think if you love someone, whether your homosexual or not, then you love them. I'm sure there are some differences, but that doesn't mean I think that you don't love just as hard as I would for my boyfriend.
I believe you have relationship problems like me, you fight, make up. You care for each other just as much. There are always going to be people who think homosexuality is wrong. I don't think that will ever change, and it's sad to see hate in anyone's heart. But we all have to try to ignore that, and live our lives the way we were born to live them. Man that loves man, woman that loves woman, or man and woman that love each other, it makes no difference.

Here's a true story:
Lisa was this girl I knew. Very smart, nice, kinda religious, but not overly religious.
She was leafing through my "Joy of Gay Sex" book one afternoon at my apt. and she was giggling and ooohing and aaahing at all the pix of oral sex, anal sex, mutual j.o., etc.
But when she came to a big pic of 2 guys just kissing, her voice got real high and she said "Oh, gross! Do you do that with other men?"
???
Made me think -- to some heteros, being gay is all right as long as it's just about lust and sex. But some of them kinda freak when you start talking about true love and affection.
PS I know not all str8 people are like that, but it was an eye-opener to find out that some are.

I had a very homophobic teacher who said that people become gay because of the sex. They enjoy the sex. He was very ignorant. I totally disagree with him.

I lot of hetero people think it is just about the sex. They don't realized that we usually want the same things out of a relationship that they do.

I am a heterosexual and I do think that gay people do love each other.

i think its great 2 people can find enough love in each other to want to be together, it doesnt matter what sex they are, i dont really agree with the lifestyle, but if they are decent kind people then go for it, who am i to judge them
