Absolutely! I'm bi and have been in a stable, committed same-sex relationship for six years now. We're both very happy and committed to each other's growth and well-being. We have three dogs and two cats in a modest townhome. Never give up hope!

Yes! I was raised by two lesbian mothers who have been together for more than 17 years, and I'm deeply connected with a community of people who also have LGBTQ+ parents and caregivers. I'm also queer, and I've been in my current relationship for more than two years. Gay and queer people have happy, healthy, stable relationships just like our straight counterparts.

Of course! Just like straight people can have stable romantic relationships, gay people can do the same. Sometimes it feels like they can't, since some just go with the first cute gay person that likes them back (since sometimes it feels that they won't get that chance again). But it's not that different from straight people! So yes, gay people can have stable romantic relationships, just like anyone else.

Yes, gay people can have stable romantic relationships. You may have many of the same relationship challenges as straight people have, but it is possible to foster stable romantic relationships.

Gay people absolutely can have stable romantic relationships, just as much as heterosexual or bisexual people can.

Of course they can! Anyone can have stable romantic relationship, no matter what is the gender of the people involved. You may have heard people saying that gays are promiscous, that they only think about sex and they don't care about stability and love. But that's a just a huge prejudice! There are actually many homosexual couples that have a stable and loving relationship. Some of them got married and grew old together, just like any hetero couple. Yes, some gay people may just want to have sex without romanticism involved in some phase of their life, but that's something that happen to straight people too. Just like anyone else, homosexuals can dream and eventually find the love of their life!

As much as straight people can have stable romantic relationships. The ability of somebody to have a stable romantic relationship isn't defined by their sexual orientation but by who they are as a person. It can be influenced by different behaviors or personnality traits. Pop culture usually portray the LGBT community in a certain way, where LGBT members experience numerous love affairs and can be seen as unstable when it comes to relationships. It is important to remember that it is just a slight part of the community that is showed and novelised by media. Everybody handle their love life differently, in a personal way. Just like two straight people can deal with their relationships differently and make different choices when it comes to love, sex or romance.

Absolutely. Gay people are emotional beings just like any other person, and are perfectly capable of developing healthy and supportive relationships. Sexual orientation rarely impacts a person's ability to develop connections and attachments to others. It's more important that a person have emotional intelligence, respect and desire to share with another person. People can have difficulties with attachment, regardless of their sexual orientation. If you find yourself having difficulties, or have had a relationship with someone who seems unstable, it's very important to look outside of sexual attraction and interest for the reasons why a person might struggle in this regard.
