( I am just projecting a attitude of what I have seen).
Yet in my dealing with homosexual couples from a professional standpoint, I do not see the beforementioned promiscuity. I see couples that are trying, in their way, to have as similiar of a relationship as a heterosexual couple. ( Obciously I am not meaning single individuals but couples)
But... for all their trying, why is it that there is always a tension regarding who is in control? Much greater, again, than I have observed in heterosexual couples. I quote no stats as my faith in them is pretty low. What say you?

I haven't read all the replies, but there are two homosexuals in my family that I will give my examples from. One is a male and has been with his partner for 15+ years, and the other is female and has been with her partner for 8 years, so I haven't seen the high rate of partner change. Other gay couples that I know but am not as close to appear to have had about the same average of partner changes as most average American heterosexual couples.
In both, there is one that is a little more dominant in their attitude, but I don't really see the struggle there any more than in heterosexual couples. I don't think that headship and who's "in control" ever really occur to them. ("Them" being the two couples that I'm talking about.) In the female/female couple, one works and the other doesn't (due to health issues) so the one that does work is naturally more in charge of financial issues and they don't fight about it.
I don't think headship could ever even apply here because the only headship references I've seen in the Bible refer to heterosexual relationships. I don't "advocate" homosexual relationships, but I do advocate kindness, and freedom.
