Do gay people objectify their partners as much as some heterosexual men tend to objectify their female partners?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21675points) November 20th, 2010

I ask this, because it occurs to me that objectifying a person has a kind of dehumanizing quality to it, on some level, objectifying someone seems to me, like a temporary denial of the other persons sentience, and as we are aware that we our selves are sentient, I wonder if it’s harder to objectify a person of the same sex as much, on the account of them being slightly more similar to your self, therefore probably harder to think of as a thing.
