I believe I already said that I wasn't trying to attack you or be mean so therefore I wasn't trying to offend anyone.

I guess I just don't see how their sexual orientation makes them any different then any other human being in terms of what they want out of a relationship. I'm sure they have the same issues in relationships as straight folks do, perhaps more due to unacceptance by others. To each, his/her own.

The biggest issue I see people have is that they tend to view a homosexual as somehow alien. As if they aren't human and feel the same emotions and desires as anyone else. There really isn't anything MORE to understand about gay people. They prefer sexual relationships with others of the same sex. That is all there is to it. That is the ONLY difference.

I know from my sister (who is gay) that they are offended when people treat them like a token or trophy piece. As my sister put it: Imagine if two white people had never seen a black person until one day they see a black family for the first time one of them says, "Look at that! Neva seen me colored folks before! I think I'll go get one right now so I look cool and trendy! Folks won't believe it! I wonder how their relationships work?" That would be offensive to a black person wouldn't you think? The reason it is offensive lies in the question of, what makes you think they are that much different than you?
