Episode 242: What straights can learn from gays

Given my experience as an actor, I was able to learn a good deal
about gay culture and relationships. This allowed me to identify
a few things that gay folks do well in their relationships and
that straight folks would do well to acknowledge. Foremost among
these things is the lack of reliance on assumptive frameworks
when creating the structure of a relationship. Since there aren't
really any publicly-visible, archetypal models for gay
relationships, everything about that relationship must be
explicitly negotiated between the individuals involved. This
reduces the likelihood of misunderstandings and increases the
goodness of fit between the relationship and the constituent
parties.
