Gay men and women, lend my your ears (and opinion)

I was talking, well emailing, one of my lesbians about a storyline on Queer As Folk in regards to cheating. My question is: If your partner cheated on you with someone of the opposite sex, is that worse than if they cheated on you with the same sex? If it is please explain why. This is what I wrote to my friend:

I really don't understand why Melanie is sooo upset at Lindsay for cheating when Melanie cheated on her first. Of Course, two wrongs don't make a right, but damn. She acts like she has been perfectly faithful. Now, the fact that Melanie cheated with a woman and Lindsay cheated with a man should have no barring on the "validity" of anger Melanie is displaying. Melanie mentioned in a previous episode that she (Melanie) knew she was a lesbian, but because Lindsay cheated with a man, she (Lindsay) wasn't a lesbian anymore. WTF??? If a gay man told his husband "I cheated with a woman and that has definitely solidified that I am a gay man and I want to be with you" would it cause as much uproar? Cheating is cheating, whether it's with a man or a woman. I wouldn't feel any better if my wife/husband cheated with a woman/man rather than a man/woman and I wouldn't feel any worse if she/he cheated with a man/woman rather than a woman/man. I would be crushed either way. Why do lesbian women have such insecurities when it comes to men?

What's your opinion?

Cheating is cheating. It is no worse if you are a gay woman that cheats with a man. It does not make you straight or bi. Mu ex-best friend was a gay male and he and I would get so close to ripping each other's clothes off on a regular basis. What stopped it was my friend thought he wouldn't be gay anymore, he would be bisexual. WTF? I told him: No, you would just be a gay man that had sex with a woman. Get over it.

I agree, cheating is cheating. It all depends on the agreement you made with your partner about other relationships.

But thats just my opinion smile

Co-Sign. People are people and sex drives are what they are. It is no different who you cheat with...it's still cheating. What matters is the agreements you set between you and your partner regarding such things.

And STOP Watching Queer as Folk! It sucks! And doesn't give any insight what-so-ever to the REAL issues we face...only the dramatic/traumatic fiction stuff.

I agree with you on Queer As Folk. I saw the whole first season on tape and I couldn't get how I was supposed to love it because I was in the life. I thought it was very insulting and no fag/dyke I know has that much drama in their lives.
