This is a comment by Lars Fisher on the post “Do Married Gay Men Care About Infidelity?“

My take on this is that, no matter your sexual orientation, there’s a lot of power in defining your own relationship. It’s just so much more satisfactory to sit down to sit down with your partner (or partners) and talk over exactly what kind of relationship *you* want, and then go do it, even if it’s unlike what everyone else is doing, I’d pick that approach every day over going one-stop shopping at the local church. The one-size-fits-all model of relationships was never attractive.
Happily, this change has been going on for years. “Relationship”, “marriage”, and “family” come in so many versions now, and same-sex marriage is just another push in that direction.
I’m not saying people should not be doing “traditional” relationships (whatever that means). By all means do that if that’s what you want. But I think it’s better for everyone if you chose how you want to do it – even if you want the traditional model.
