Wow this was great, i do think there is a difference though!
27th of Nov, 2006
In todays world,you have to be true to your self. Like the article said, everyone deserves love and to be loved no matter what.It was a wonderful article, and keep up the good work.
27th of Nov, 2006
Every one deserves love and happiness, with whom ever they choose to love.

Society has opened up to homosexuality so much that it probably doesnt matter if it is an interracial gay couple or not.
27th of Nov, 2006
The article is right. At least to me it is. People are more accepting to the gay life style than interracial dating. I'll go even further, they are more accepting to black men and white women than black women and white men. Hopefully we will live to see ONE LOVE.

This is just plain stupid. It\'s the fashion at the moment, other issues will come.
27th of Nov, 2006
this is a tough one. becasue we need to identify key factors. #1.. what is "society" as in what constitutes a society... majority not minority. and who is in control of the majority? (no comment) #2..society is the same group that says, being gay is wrong, being black, asian, native american and hispanic is wrong, being too skinny is wrong, being fat-obese is obscene... society sets the standars for all to follow, this group also goes to church on sunday and sins M-S, ... and the list goes on. #3..none of us know what is right or wrong, to me, love is love, im not going to condemn someone who is gay male or female and im not going to point to others and say how they should live. love comes in different ways, sizes, shapes and colors. society is also the same ones whom say, crippled people or midgets should not pro-create so why would i care about what "Society" says when society has been wrong all along???

love is a matter of the heart, if two people love each other i say go for it, i don't care if it is same sex, different race or the other way around, people should just be left alone and be free to love whomever their hearts desire....
28th of Nov, 2006
What ever path your choose to take that's the decision you have to live with!
28th of Nov, 2006
quite interesting!!
28th of Nov, 2006
I think love is always the same, there are more gays on the tv now coz their lobby is surely stronger then the multiracial one... and this will be like this for a long time yet!
28th of Nov, 2006
It is human nature to accuse and condemn, to deem the side on which we stand as perfect. Those that spend time scrutinizing and condemning people's sexual preferences have a long war to fight. There is a clear line drawn when it comes to hollywood weddings. Interracial couples are rare and even movies always try to depict that people should stick to their racial heritage.
Human nature is such that we are curious about the unknown, we are seeking to know what lurks beyond those different rainbow colours. At the same time we can't choose to do all at the same time. Therefore people will tend to prefer certain things over others.
Fundamentally, we are tuned to enjoy and detest the same pleasures in life, why therefore put little obstacles in our way? My experience is that free and open mindedness is a big force. It comes with an ability to live life in a more fullfiling way, learning to appreciate things the way they are designed to be.
If you choose to drive a VOlvo, then that is your choice why should i question that? Therefore why question me if i choose to drive a BMW?
28th of Nov, 2006
Not my domain. People can do whatever they want to do.
28th of Nov, 2006
interesting...not something I agree with but to each his own
28th of Nov, 2006
I feel that the decision is up to the person and God--if they like it I love it.
29th of Nov, 2006
I agree with you Leticia that there are more gay and bisexual power players in hollywood than in multicultural relationships.
29th of Nov, 2006
I don't think it matters. As long as they find someone they are happy with, just like the heteroes!
29th of Nov, 2006
I think it's up to the persons (homosexual /heterosexual). They can do whatever they want as long as they love each other
30th of Nov, 2006
Very interesting article.Something to think about.
30th of Nov, 2006
I say live and let live. Who cares who someone dates. I just love to see 2 people happy and in love no matter what color they are or who ther choose to love! Rainbows are beautiful!
30th of Nov, 2006
I believe that gays and interracial couples face some of the same obstacles. People that are afraid of change will ridicule it in order to impede the change. We are living in a world where everyone will be multiracial one day. I'm just sad that I will be long gone by the time that happens
30th of Nov, 2006
This is a tough one.. I have a Christian point of view in a everyday normal point of view.. So, i say do what makes you happy, there will always be a Cause/Effect in what you chose to do with yourself.. Make sure it\\\'s worth it..
30th of Nov, 2006
Everybody deserves somebody.
1st of Dec, 2006
have you heard of the two irish gay guys Ben Doown and Phillip Mc cavity....can i say that ...lol
3rd of Dec, 2006
well i must say that this article, was and is very interesting. however i will say this alot of person claim to be open minded when in reality they truely are not. reason being they can except interracial relationships why is it that they can't except the fact that they're also gay relationships as well. let my ask this on jugdement day who will be their jugde and jury, not us, so my thoughts on this is if that is what make them happy then so be it as long as they are not trying to change you. and just as others have stated everyone deserve to be loved in one form or another!!!!
3rd of Dec, 2006
Very interesting article of which I enjoyed reading.
I feel gay relationships are more readily accepted in western society than mixed raced relationships - well they are in uk.
3rd of Dec, 2006
Everyone has a right to love be they gay or straight, and whatever thier race.
3rd of Dec, 2006
Aurora...not here, okay?
4th of Dec, 2006
That is so what true. Which is amazing that there is such a difference but at the same time similarites. Great Article...Keep'em coming.
5th of Dec, 2006
I agree with dimps that gay relationships are more acceptable than mixed in the uk.
5th of Dec, 2006
no one bats an eyelid here in the UK when they see a gay couple. its seen as normal nowadays. and hey, if they are ok with it, then who are we object and critisize?
6th of Dec, 2006
Well whatever floats there boat. Like they say there is someone for someone. HOwever, i believe society is coming around finally to interracial relationship more than gay relationships
6th of Dec, 2006
its a matter of someones choice if that is what they chose to do...
8th of Dec, 2006
I think in the US it depends where you go. Most places that are accepting of interracial relationships are just as tolerant of homosexuals, and places that don't accept one, generally don't want to deal with the other either.
It's all about bigotry.
8th of Dec, 2006
For me, Beige38 has hit the nail straight on the head!!
9th of Dec, 2006
I think that Interracial couples get more looks,than gay couples,because gay couples are more common these days.
11th of Dec, 2006
I wonder if gays in interracial relationships get twice as many stares and funny looks?
12th of Dec, 2006
different strokes 4 different folks.
12th of Dec, 2006
Hey variety is the spice of life!
14th of Dec, 2006
I love the idea of everyone coming out of the closet and laying all their cards on the table. I just don't like children being exposed to so much sexuality issues. I think it should be a choice made because that's who or what you truly are and want and not because its the latest trend.
14th of Dec, 2006
Tough one, but hey, it\'s a free world, ain\'t it? each to his own preference and judge not
14th of Dec, 2006
why should it be different between ppl. from a different race?
I don't understand the issue!
15th of Dec, 2006
It's too bad people aren't free to be who they want to be without having to get stares and dirty looks.
16th of Dec, 2006
Love has no boundries
16th of Dec, 2006
Sex is a mind thing..
16th of Dec, 2006
Well, all i can say is that i have a boyfriend who is Italian and gay, he relocated to UK 3 months ago, because his own society doesn't accept homosexuality. But the problem is he's not happy here away from his family and home. So he's contemplating on moving back to Italy and continue living a lie, seeing girls as he can't bring himself to tell his family about his sexuality.
I think something should be done about the Mediterranean society, they should just accept these people for who they are. And let them be happy. All i want for my friend is happiness cos he's such a sweet guy, and if only i could turn his world around by finding him a perfect partner who's gonna rock his wolrd and make him think twice about going back to Italy to live a sad lonely life.
17th of Dec, 2006
I think the world in most areas has become more accepting of gay couples. I wish the same could be said for interacial ones.
17th of Dec, 2006
A huge factor people are either forgetting or ignoring that plays into the whole thing is GOD . and theres this thing called judgment day ,now moses had a black wife and god had no problem with it (numbers12-1 through 12-13)look it up ..not to mention king solomon married a african woman. keep in mind in the bible god says very clearly that a man shall not lay with another man as he would a woman and a woman shall not lay with a woman as she would with a man .point is there is a judgement day and god is real .one thing god gave us all is free will . the choice to decide our own fate . while he loves the sinner , he does not love the sinful acts .why was sodom and ghamora destroyed ? god was upset at the mass scale of sin aka lust ,greed violence and yes homosexuality .hey if 2 people of the same sex want to get together thats on them .but i,m gonna speak the word no matter what .
18th of Dec, 2006
I dont think the world can say it out that they dont accept interracial couple, i think all they can do is give you nasty looks. And to hell with them and their looks, i just wanna fall in love with whoever, either white, black, purple, pink, brown or yellow. I DON'T CARE AS LONG AS IT IS TRUE LOVE, that's all that matters to me right now.
18th of Dec, 2006
IAM A CHRISTIAN AND I HATE WHEN YOU COMPARE INTERACIAL TO GAY RELATIONS.THERE NOT THE SAME.A MAN AND A WOMEN WHO LOVE EACH OTHER SHOULD BE TOGETHER BUT GOD DIDNT INTEND FOR GENDERS OF THE SAME SEX OR BROTHERS ANND SISTERS TO LAY TOGETHER WHICH THE BIBLE CLEARLY STATES
20th of Dec, 2006
To each his own...
21st of Dec, 2006
It is a good article, but it is also funny to me that most straight men react negative towards gay relationships, possibly trying to honor their manhood...however, they seem to forget their beliefs when it comes to two women being together, especially when they possibly can be part of the mix!! Then some how it is ok for that! lol...... I say.....what is, is and if it makes you happy then go for it. Just keep it real!
22nd of Dec, 2006
According to gays, there are born gay. Who am I to judge. Let the dead burry the dead lol.
22nd of Dec, 2006
whatever makes people happy
26th of Dec, 2006
Happy Holidays to all of us, no matter who you are or how you live your life.
29th of Dec, 2006
what is wrong is wrong.gay is wrong.God created MAN nad WOMAN.He said Man should be with woman and vice versa not MAN and MAN or WOMAN and WOMAN.Lets stop this ungodly acts.
7th of Jan, 2007
I wish everyone peace and happiness. Love who you are and be with who ever you choose to be with. As long as you happy in your life thats what matters.
9th of Jan, 2007
I thank God that I should not judge others for it is to big of a burden.
6th of May, 2008
Not that there's anything wrong with that
26th of Jul, 2008
All of us do have the freedom to explore many facets of our live. The difference is that in public perception at least in especially afrocentric societies interracial gay couples rase less eyebrows than interracial hetero relationships. Its the same thing like expecting and accepting the fashion designer, ballet director or male flight attendant or nurse to be gay. Why because you can expect weird things/professions, mate choices from somebody with the preference for the same sex.
The interracial hetero couple gets the looks and elbow nodges because why in Gods name would you go out of your race to find a woman or man?
But just like many other social issues this to will pass and in a few more years we will be discussing older black women with young white boys or black couples adopting white kids and the sorts.
Very good article !
16th of Nov, 2008
I loved that article.
I'm a white 50 years old male.
and do have a mistery with my relationships with the African American women who I'm very attracted to,especially to those who are in a good athletic shape.Visually!
I was seeing few black girls...and...I'm looking for the answer:Every time it comes to the intimacy,I'm loosing it all the time.At once!
My attraction visually is so strong.But after the first touch,something goes wrong.
I feel so bad about it. I don't perform the way it works with the white women when it's just smooth like silk.And I wish I will.Why?
Is it some complex or is it that difference within bi-racial sex and it's culture?In more cases-it's seems better when white woman is with the Black man.But the version of Black woman and a white man has even less statistics on its success.
I do have a friend,who was dating beautiful black girl for just 4 months. I was shocked when he told me absolutely same story like mine.Besides, both of us seems to be scared of a room light and not so brave to be fully undressed for the chick.
If it's any good tip about it-I'll be cured for a lifetime.
10th of Aug, 2009
I'm not sure that the basic premise is true. Are there more shows about gay couples than interracial ones? In any case there really isn't a whole lot of either portrayed in mainstream media.
This country seems to have always had to be pulled kicking and screaming into the reality of the inexorable forces of change. It is somewhat amusing that after the revolution that formed this country initially, it was a bit of "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." That continues today but change continues, too slowly for some, too damn quickly for others.
Wow this was great, i do think there is a difference though!
