Gay couples argue in a kinder way?!
”I tell that to gay couples and they’re like, ‘Are you kidding? We’re awful.’ But by and large if you look at tapes of a straight couple sitting there and carrying on about something — versus a gay couple — the straight couple will much more quickly become contemptuous or start criticizing each other.”
Salvatore Garanzini who, along with his long-time partner, Alapaki Yee, have founded the Gay Couples Institute in San Francisco. Garzani says the arguments among gay and lesbian couples is largely the same as heterosexuals — trust and cheating — but differs slightly in a need to speak with someone who understands gay sex issues, and also expectations carried over from heterosexual family models or the more complicated issues of having children.
