HAPPY AND GAY
Same-sex pairs ‘equally committed’
Washington: When it comes to being committed in a romantic relationship, same-sex couples are as faithful as heterosexual couples, say researchers.
The study, led by Glenn I Roisman, PhD at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, disputes the stereotype that couples in same-sex relationships are not as committed as their heterosexual counterparts and are therefore not as psychologically healthy. In the study, the researchers examined whether committed same-sex couples differ from engaged and married opposite-sex couples in how well they interacted and how satisfied they were with their partners.
The research team compared 30 committed gay male and 30 committed lesbian couples with 50 engaged heterosexual couples and 40 older married heterosexual couples, as well as with dating heterosexual couples. All the partners responded to a questionnaire that documented how positively they interacted with one another on a day-to-day basi
