Does only one organism benefits from a lichen?

No. The alga and the fungus that make up a particular lichen exist in a true symbiotic relationship where neither can exist without the other.

What is a gay relationship?

A "gay relationship" is a relationship between two people of the same sex. The real issue is "What is a relationship?" Relationships can be as casual as a business friendship, or as deeply committed as a marriage. The most important thing is probably making sure that the people in the relationship agree on its terms. It's been my experience that the things that make a relationship last are not about sex. It's things like trust, compassion, mutual support, even challenging each other to be our best, that count. In fact, they're the same things that make heterosexual relationships last.
