allopenstar Ugh, don't come and tell me that it is not like that, that TV shows are just beautifying them and it is not like this in real life.
Well, get me a girl and I will romance the shit out of her just like I will romance a guy I like. I am a romantic, and this is in spite of my sexuality. Romantics are romantics, they are not defined by their sexuality. It is the same for straight couples. Every single TV shows and romantic comedies about straight couples, can you tell me that all straight couples are like that? Just as there is many MANY different types of relationships between heterosexual relationships, the same can be said of queer relationships.
Also, know why ONLY NOW we are seeing the beautiful romantic side of queer relationships? Cos shows have been demonising them for ages and you think it is the norm. BUT IT IS NOT. You want to talk about how gay people have a reputation of being promiscuous? Well, NEWS FLASH, straight people are also promiscuous as well. You know what gay people lack? Safe spaces, proper sex education. It is circumstances that shape their mindset. And who are shaping these circumstances? YOU. The you who are critiquing them. So you want them to have healthy relationships? Create safe spaces for them to do so. Educate them. Be willing to talk about it. Don't force them into the corners of society.
Also, DOMA is on its way out. Look at DADT. I know it is going to take time, but DOMA is finally on its way out.
Edit: Just realised that what I wrote can be construed as slut-shaming. I apologise for that. I am sex-positive, and as long as it is safe, sane and consensual, I am all for it. So, there is nothing wrong with enjoying sex, as long as it is safe, sane and consensual.
