Same sex relations are not the easiest, I've had GirlxGirl relationships in my family. (Cousin, her GF.) and seen plenty of GuyxGuy ones as well.
They are sweet, and fun for those whom enjoy their own gender.
But holding them, is just hard as far as I can tell. They never seem to last or work in the end.
You're better off with a new lady, fresh start - new things to learn and love, and no trouble from those homophobes.
She may even be a goddess in the sack. ;D
Just sayin'. >.<, you do what you like, of course!
