But it's not the whole of even gay men, let alone the whole gay community. All the lesbians I know are or would like to be in a committed relationship. Mind you, that's true for most of the gay men I know, too.
You have to look at things as they happen and not just at things as people would like them to happen. And the truth is that lesbian relationships have little more endurance than male homosexual ones. Have you ever been near a lesbian couple that was breaking up? I have. I also have read plenty of lesbian literature, through my years as a comic book reviewer with a particular interest in the underground. Peculiar thing - it is pretty nearly all about break-ups, jealousy, rows, and infidelities. One could almost say that the peculiar quality of the lesbian experience is disappointment and jealousy. And what this shows is that the mechanics of the homosexual life, both male and female, inevitably make for infidelity. Even now, when the difficulties in the way of fidelity have multiplied (including the rarely noticed fact that most people now live to their seventies, whereas in the ages without divorce the average European white would be dead by 45 if not earlier), more than half of all marriages last until death. An infinitesimal amount of unmarried OR homosexual relationships may be said to last as long. The male or female homosexual will nearly always end up being either betrayed or betrayer; the difference is in style, not in substance.
