Reply #11: These are interesting points, especially given how common it is even in very good Heterosexual [View All]

relationships that BOTH members know intimately what the relationship has cost them. Oh, I suppose there a few of those fairy-tale perfect marriages out there, but most marriages, even the very functional ones, have a price that you have to wonder about now and then: "If so-and-so had not had to such-and-such to keep this relationship alive, what kind of life would s/he have lived, what would s/he/they have been able to do, how might their lives have REALLY helped Others, instead of just perpetuating itself through self-congratulatory relationships?"

Instead, we continue to sacrifice things we will never know the value of to Heterosexuality, in order to keep those who have already given it their lives from experiencing the STRESSFUL situation in which they simply have to be able to say: "This is how I/we lived our lives; whatever Good is in it is justification unto itself; whatever Bad is in it is not justification that others proove otherwise to me/us or anyone else by sacrificing their own lives to the same Value." If Heterosexuals cannot do this, then they deify their own sexual orientation and blaspheme against God in demanding human sacrifice to THEIR Golden Calf.
