why is it that gay people cheat on each other more than straight couples?

I am gay, and I sadly have to agree this is true. I don't know why. Since we're just starting to get our marriage rights, Maybe it has to do with feeling left out of society. Some of us might feel that our lifestyle isn't taken seriously. When there is no marriage, there is no commitment. Just a theory... :-&#92;

Straight men do this, especially when they are young.  However, if it develops into a habit, then I would say they are not straight and probably at least bisexual.

Because it general we all want what we can't have. Oh and also, IN GENERAL gay people TEND to spend more time and effort on how they look and their personality where as the majority of straight guys don't. And no im not gay before anyone says this is why i have this opinion.

Because normal = different things to different people.  And most people automatically assume that being gay automatically means you're a sex pig and it's dirty and gross.  They don't realize that while that's sometimes true, there's also this little thing in there called love (among other feelings and/or emotions) more often than not.  \n\nAs a straight man...have you been in a serious relationship before?  Then you would know that when the honeymoon is over, what's left after that is what prevails.  \nI've been with my parter for close to 3 years now and I can't tell you any differences from our relationship to any straight person's relationship that I know.  We all fight and argue, we all make up in the end, we all know what it's like to be in a solid committed relationship.  I don't see the difference.  \n\nI'm glad you have this outlook, however.  We need more people like you in the world.  :)

Many straight people have resorted to homosexuality while in prison. It has always been observed. That is one reason why it didn't make sense to lock up homosexuals like we did in the old days; the homosexuality usually got reinforced. Therapy would have been a better route.

no... men and women who fail to take their vows seriously and bail out..the first sign of trouble are to blame.. along with those who marry for the wrong reasons.  stop blaming gays for every thing  ... or bush...  we need to take some responsibility for our own lives.  i worry about people so pre-occupied with gays,

because it is unnatural , and you can't say it has been around as long as heterosexuality, if you read the history you will find that it came around when the sexual cantact between men and women was restricted by religion. If people like you don't encurage it and it was punishable by law, there would be no more gay people around.

Actually, I think most straight guys don't like being around gay guys.  There can be several reasons for this, but the most common ones are because they can't relate to a man who is not attracted to a woman like they are and because they fear that gay men are checking them out and objectifying them the same way they know they do to women.  Putting the shoe on the other foot makes them uncomfortable.

I think gay people have some kind of mental problem maybe due to their childhood experience or simply they were dropped on their head when they were born.I dont understand this simple psychology of attraction of gay people...why on earth u would wanna like something that u already have.God didnt make adam and evan...HE made Adam and Eve,go figure why!Gay people are just mentally ill and not sure about themselves regarding relationships and sexuality.They should go see a psychiatrist and take therapy to come back to normal life.Damn u gayz!!

Im personally not in favor of open relationships no matter how they're sliced. Gay, Straight, Bi or whatever. I would guess that the person who wants an open relationship just isnt in love with the person they're with.

There are some break through research that homophobes would like to keep under wraps.  It,s looking like homosexuality is more in genetics and brain chemistry.  People can't really turn gay, or at least not for the right reasons.  You can't choose who you are attracted to.

Heterosexual people defend homosexual marriage because it's the morally correct thing to do.  It's immoral to deny another adult a right that you yourself enjoy.  Besides, if marriage is such a great thing, as GWB and others like to point out, then why on Earth wouldn't they want more of it?  It doesn't even make sense.

You may as well ask why people are heterosexual too. There is no reason. They just are. I personally do not believe homosexuals, lesbians and bi-sexuals will burn in Hell. God has room in his house for everyone. Even those who fall outside religious doctrine.

Cheating is a very bad thing. It is a deception of your girl friend/boy friend or spouse. People cheat because they find someone they are sexually attracted to or are not getting what they want from there significant other.

I think that commitment has been mistaken with monogamy. I don't think that any man, gay or straight wants to be fully monogamous. We like to dip our stick, and variety. But there are people that will refrain or can contain those urges. I thin it's irrational. YOu can have a commitment and not be monogamous, and if you both agree to that, even better! (no nead for cheating)

I agree it may be easier in the sense of dominate and passive issues that men and women face. In as much; it can be equally challenging if not more worse because of cultural limitations. Gays generally don't show openly affection to each others as their counterparts. Gays, are not allowed to marry; which in itself can cause all sorts of family problems if the other becomes sick. Gays are not allowed as much as straights in regards to health benefits and insurance. Gays aren't afforded the same courtesy that heterosexual get on a daily bases. These facts commingled with the challenge people have in general relationships can make being in a gay relationship very hard.

I believe that for the most part many people believe that gay people are so 'different' from them that they have nothing in common.  The lack of commonality tends to polarize people.  Once people realize that gay people love, live, cry, work, play, and raise children just like everyone else I believe that the issues between gay/straight people will begin to melt away.
