Abstract
This exploratory survey assessed Burch's (1993) hypothesis that sexual identities form the basis for romantic attraction in lesbian and gay male partnerships. Thirty-two lesbian and 30 gay male couples identified themselves as either a primary homosexual, bisexual homosexual, or other. Significant differences were found between lesbians and gay males on their self-identifications as primary or bisexual homosexuals. More gay male than lesbian couples comprised primary/primary dyads, whereas, more lesbian than gay male couples consisted of primary/bisexual dyads. Specific recommendations for further study of complementarity in lesbian and gay male relationships are presented.
