I (stupidly) read an article about the Republican candidates and their views on gay rights, which always gets me feeling sad and frustrated. I just want to marry my love and protect our family, damnit! So anyway I thought it might be nice to have a thread to remind us of some of the nice things about being gay ... if there are any, lol.

To start ....

...I never have to feel embarrassed or awkward about "female issues"

...I can more easily raid my FI's closet

...our relationship doesn't have pre-defined gender roles so everything is carried out more equitably and I never have to wonder if I'm stuck doing a chore because I'm "the woman"

Hmm, that's all I can think of at the moment, anyone else have something to add?

I suppose you don't have to deal with your SO "adjusting" herself, or occasionally peeing outside in the back yard. True story.

Getting to spend the rest of my life with the most beautiful, gentle, loving and perfect future wife I could dream of. . . .don't mean to be corny . . .

Haha also sharing clothes, hair stuff etc is great also.  There are so many other great things about being with someone of the same gender, but I don't ever want it to sound like I am "man bashing" and try to be careful about sounding that way.

@khf777: Haha lol!

@Cupcake2012: I know, that is tricky. I dated several men before finding my future wife, so I know first hand what I LOVE about dating a woman instead, but don't want to offend people. : )

@moonadea: Yes, same here. I was married to a man previously. My sister is getting married soon and when she complains about her FI sometimes, (who is a great guy, dont get me wrong), I can't help but feel so lucky for my wonderful woman and the things I no longer have to deal wit. 

@2dBride: Very true. When my brothers come to visit I'm like "Whaaa....?"

@2dBride: Hahaha made me lol. Sooo true. I havent fallen in the toilet (bc of the seat left up) in so long I forgot what it was like!

Equality in the division of household chores- yes!

sharing clothes- sometimes

being with a woman is an outward expression of my alternative and progressive ideals, i'm so not mainstream and now I can prove it, lol!

spending my life with a gentle, loving, kind, healthy woman- yes! (but that's person-specific, not gender-specific)

and yes, women are WAY hot. ;)

My partner's input:

Never having to worry about an unplanned pregnancy!

Your partner knowing what it's like to be a woman, and never having to explain how the world feels from your perspective (gender wise at least.)

Being able to go in the same bathroom.

Having the same friends more easily.

Being able to share products like lotion, makeup, shampoo, etc.

Being able to go "incognito" and do things like go into the same dressing room, spend the night toegther (especially when you were younger) etc more easily.

Hahahaha!! This was awesome! So true :)

Very well said!

Oops that was meant as a reply to Eagle!

And the first one to juliepants. Sorry bees my technology is sucking tonight!
