I've been close to two or three couples, gay and straight, who have been together for 45 years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up in a pretty gay world - my brother's gay and he's been married to a man for 20 years, which is like 60 in straight-people years.
I know a lot of very stable gay couples.
It's absolutely essential that we have the same safeguards that straight couples do. But I want more than a 50 percent chance of success. I don't want to emulate that.
Most of the longer-term relationships I've known have been gay relationships. They seem to be able to hang out longer.
I have close family members as well as lots of close friends who are gay. Many of them strongly support gay marriage.
I've had a couple of long relationships. And I've had a couple of shorter relationships.
I've been married three times and divorced three times.
I don't want to make it sound like a hotbed of lesbianism but I did have a number of relationships.
For me, I have gay family members, and I have a lot of friends in the LBGT community.
I enjoy my relationship with straight men. It's very nurturing. It's very validating to hang out with straight guys and be accepted. So many of us, we were not accepted when we were younger by straight persons in high school.
