It's not like being in a wheelchair LT, what does this even mean? If anything (and this is probably a huge generalisation) other than the obvious issues with homophobia still being "a thing", in practical terms, society seems VERY well set up for the gay couples I'm friends with. Dual income, no kids, no one is going to have to take maternity leave and stall their career, permanent upwards trajectory... also frankly easier communication / more likely to have aligned interests than your classic "male/female" dynamic. Basically to me it seems like there's a lot of the appeal of "the single lifestyle" for them, but with the benefit of also having love and companionship. The only major difference I can see is in having kids / a family set up, which yes I appreciate many gay couples want and is hard, however it's only a problem for the couples who DO want children (not all do) and also, let's be blunt here, society is NOT set up for families
at all these days. It's set up for ambitious singles and power couples
. Kids (and families with kids) are treated like an inconvenience pretty much everywhere you go.
