The blank gay

Description:Whether right or wrong, a relationship commencing along traditional gender lines gives each partner a place to start with the knowledge of what their respective roles are or can be. I could not find any studies conducted on general power imbalances in same-sex couples except for whether the power imbalances influenced sexual risk outcomes. As I began forming relationships, I quickly learned the heterosexual expectations I had learned growing up could not and should not be applied to same-sex relationships. A couple of my exes have gone on to get married and appear to be genuinely happy. Most importantly, I need to be an effective communicator rather than just sitting back and letting my partner exert full control over me. In this way, knowing your role in a relationship offers both parties a useful starting point. I also feel like the media and society have long reinforced stereotypes that define what the role of males and females "should" be in heterosexual relationships.
