Not sure how this works but a better answer was needed. Love is love - a relationship is a relationship... no two are the same whether they are between member of the same or opposite sexes.
A monogamous heterosexual relationship may be healthy, but the genders or number of sexual partners is not the relevant aspect. A healthy relationship is one based upon mutual respect, trust and communication, features that can be absent from monogamous heterosexual relationships. Also, homosexual relationships can be based upon mutual respect, trust and communication, as can polygamous relationships.
Homosexuals in a relationship would have similar goals to heterosexual couples.
This is pretty much like asking if a heterosexual person will stay with her heterosexual partner, when you stop to think about it. If the primary reason for the relationship is sexual gratification, chances are the relationship will not last. If, however, the primary reason is love, you have about the same chances as a heterosexual couple.
Unfortunately, part of it was due to sexism. The Greeks believed that women were inferior, so it was impossible for a man to have a truly equal relationship with women. Relationships between men were thought to be stronger. In addition, the primary purpose of heterosexual sex is of course procreation, which is thought to lessen emotional strength between the two partners. To the Greek way of thinking, even animals are driven to have straight sex. Homosexual affairs were motivated primarily by love.
There is only one difference: heterosexual relationships are between members of the opposite sex, and homosexual relationships are between members of the same sex.
One serious form of sexism is occupational sexism. Also, ambivalent sexism is another form of sexism that is still currently going on in society.
