It's fundamentally different. I don't know why you don't see this. If there is no sexual activity between members of the same sex, there's nothing to talk about. They are just good friends. Homosexuality is defined by sexual activity; since sexual activity IS NOT the norm for same sex relationships, while is IS the norm for hetero relationships, the sexual activity defines the same sex relationship as being other than good friends. If, in the entire history of relationships, male/female relationships did not routinely involve sex and reproduction, then they would be on equal footing.
