yes

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

The ability to be monogamous is, like most things, independent of sexuality.

Who woulda thunk it?

Can gay people juggle though?

The polyamorous ones can juggle partners, if that helps!

Do gay guys long to head home to their partner after a days work and have dinner sit in for the night and discuss their days and hold each other when one is feeling down. Do gay guys go shopping and run their homes orderly and the big questions do they love to start a family. Does their hearts fill with hapiness when their kids does well in school or socially.

I assume that you're a gay man. Do you not feel these things you mention?

What bizarre questions. I have to echo azezil... we're not a different species!

Some people want those things you mention. Some people are gay. These are independent facts and not mutually exclusive by any means.

Yes.

If you're trolling, stop.

If you're not trolling, explain why you're asking these questions. It's equivalent to asking "Can blondes live monogamously?" or "Can black people live monogamously?"

Yes to all of the above, well, it would be yes if I had a man in the first place and if we decided to adopt children, which I don't really think I'd want to. We'd have to discuss it.

Why, do you know someone like that? Point him in my direction.

Yes but only in the last year or so. When I was in my 20's I always believed that I would never want to have kids but lately I look at these darlings as something I could put myself into. I have a niece and nephew who I adore and luckily have a brother who allows them to spend time with me. I bring them to the park shops cinema and enjoy the company. I cry a little when they go home and I'd love to have kids of my own to brighten up the days that can be hard to fill and also to have young life around me in years to come but being gay in Ireland does'nt allow me to have such a life. I'm single at the moment

@LGiamani- I reckon you're at a point in your life where you're single and are possibly only meeting the scumbags who cheat and run around. Sadly, all genders and sexualities have them.

but TBH your original question and the follow up in a bit silly. You're basically asking if gay men are robots or not. it's pretty offensive, whether the asker is gay or straight.

Of course they can. I know I've done so for the last five years and yeah, I go home and have dinner and we discuss our day. What makes you think they can't or that you couldn't apply the same question to all men?

Of course not, just like straight men your only in it for the sex, you hate all that paternal guff and if your ever forced to settle down it'll be so you have someone to take over your mammys duties before she dies. Unfortunately for you gay men you don't get to prey out all those desperate and broody women hanging around bars waiting to be impregnated, so I guess you'll have to go it alone, maybe hire a maid...

Bloody stereotypes...
