“Really? Where did you see that ? I thought the dogma was they wanted the right to succeed or fail that heterosexuals do. And since most heterosexual marriages fail, I doubt the gays will have a much better average.”
It was claimed in a Psychology Today article a few years back that gay and lesbian relationships were more stable than hetero ones. Not sure if anyone else made the claim, but it made a minor splash in the MSM when it appeared. I remember it being discussed here on FR, so you must have missed it.
“Dogma is the established belief or doctrine held by a religion, ideology or any kind of organization: it is authoritative and not to be disputed or doubted”
The original reference and reply were to dogma. If you can only support a statement by digging back years to a forgotten reference, it’s not dogma. Just an outlier opinion that never found a place in the larger debate.
Besides, do you really think Psychology Today was being referenced in the first place?
The real psychology on display in this story isn’t gay or straight. It’s the successful entertainer on the road with the spouse far away at home with the kids and too many groupies willing and available. Pamela des Barres might understand but most wouldn’t, and Tammy seems to have reached her limit.
Thank you...that's what I was referring to...but I couldn't remember the source...but I do remember the discussion here on FR...
