Either no pics or get a heterosexual picture in here, too....sigh

Really? I'm all for LGBT, freedom and gender equality, so please don't discriminate against heterosexuals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.133.17.83 (talk) 14:09, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not discrimination that there's only one couple picture there. Someone just never added one for opposite-sex couples (because there's no requirement to probably). Choose one from the Wikimedia Commons if you like and i'll add it. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ^(email) 16:26, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We already have two pictures in the article.--В и к и T 16:34, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Boyfriend

The term boyfriendItalic text has been misinterpreted by many writers. Lets take the combined words, "boy"Italic text and "friend"Italic text. The word "friend" means,someone who is not your blood relation. Then, the "boy" as we all know is a male. Therefore, we can conclude that a boyfriend is simply a friend who is a male and not that a boyfriend being a sex partner,and this also applies to the word,"girlfriend". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.29.237.18 (talk) 14:24, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate Template

I cannot edit it, but the boyfriend article has two right side templates, which is highly redundant with it being the same thing. WolfKanin (talk) 15:45, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
