Question

Franklin Maynard · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Research comparing same-sex couple relationships to heterosexual couple relationships has consistently found that the dynamics of close relationships are not significantly different. A review of 81 studies found that the quality of same-sex couples' relationships was similar to that of heterosexual couples. However, same-sex couples may face different obstacles and challenges related to legal recognition, social stigma, and discrimination. The duration of relationships is not consistently different between same-sex and heterosexual couples.
