The only thing that is really different in straight vs gay readings is that some aspects like to Uranus will be more prominent and possibly in hard aspect in a same sex reading. This is one of the things that distinguish a same sex relationship

Part of the beauty of being gay is that I'm always on a level playing field with the other person...by which I mean, as much as I am free to pursue a relationship, he is equally capable. The "rules" that exist between men and women just don't exist in the same way between two men or two women. There's no expectation that the "man" has to do the pursuing and the "woman" has to be pursued (although I suppose that's somewhat outdated in the world today, anyway).

Personally, I've come to feel that Mars indicates/relates the way that I pursue a guy when I'm interested and that Venus seems to be more my manner of being pursued. Likewise, I generally feel that aspects between same-sex partners generally play out in the manner described...the genders used in descriptions are usually irrelevant if you keep an open mind and look at the big picture...and in any case, more recently, I've been noticing a pattern to describe aspects as "The Mars person blahblahblah...The Moon person blahblahblah..." rather than "The man will blahblahblah...the woman will blahblahblah".

Being a gay man, myself, I feel like that sort of heteronormative expectation (not every relationship has to have a "man" and a "woman") isn't really helpful, and doesn't really describe same sex relationships very well. There isn't always a more masculine partner and a more feminine partner in the relationship, and I reject the idea that there has to be.

I tend to agree, I feel sexual/social gender is slowly becoming less useful and we are free to explore roles beyond the traditional Sun/Moon, Mars/Venus, Male/Female templates. I have a Leo friend who is dating and Aries guy. He is definitely the "Mars/Sun Person" in the relationship, but she is the "Saturn Person" in the relationship, without a doubt. Their relationship generally consists of him running around like a little kid on fire, while she endures, grounds, and learns skillful ways to reign him in (as the need arises). Because she has always been obsessed with work, the arrangement does it for her. He is the perfect ball of string for her to bat around and he loves all the attention she invests.
