Ack, some of the comments go on about how lesbians are so pure and so perfect, I really hate that crap, no actual lesbian with any life experience talks that way. Lesbian relationships are just as complex and difficult at times as all other relationships. We don't sit around all day painting our nails with rainbows in totally cute sleep attire blowing hearts out of our ass. We argue, get jealous, cheat, get depressed, have bad days, etc. I really don't know why they seem to believe that lesbians have these perfect lives, I've been a lesbian my whole life and it's not easy, at all.

I hate this too. Actually even my straight friends always say stuff like this 'I wish I was a lesbian, then I wouldn't have to deal with relationships with men' or similar things. Do you think lesbian relationships are any different from any other relationship? They still argue and have problems like any other relationship. These people are living in some alternate reality.

I mean, they still argue and have problems, but a) you don't have to worry about them accidentally getting another woman pregnant, and b), they're statistically less likely to kill you.

and c) the prominent sexist gender roles and expectations that exist in straight relationships are pretty meaningless in same-sex relationships
