A female freind of mine told me something about lesbian relationships. She is heterosexual. "Gay male relationships are more likely to be based on a genuine love and sexual attraction, whereas gay female relationships are often based on a mutual anger toward men." I am neutral to the above statement. Any comments?

This is not to say that they do not feel anger toward men, some of them do. Most of them, however, just don't give a damn about men, period. This of course, leads people who hold men as central in their own lives to confuse un-caring with anger. -kaveh.

Well, given that your friend is heterosexual, I'm not sure what her basis for the statement is. In my experience, the sexual orientation of the partners in a relationship is no sure indicator of the likely basis of the relationship one way or the other. I know what seem to be happy, healthy homosexual relationships based on love and I know homosexual relationships based on neurosis. The sex of the people involved is irrelevant. I don't agree with your friend's statement at all. Look, I can even think of a couple of heterosexual relationships that seem to be based on hatred of the opposite sex... Valerie Maslak
