Is it cheating if it's with the same gender?

Sex is a physical need.
Love is a mental want

Cheating only exists in the terms of love. If he LOVES someone else, its cheating.

It would be offensive if it wasn't considered cheating. Thats like saying a gay kiss between two men or women means less than a kiss between a man and woman.

Yikes. This is a tough one! I have to go with it depends on the relationship. This may be warped, but I believe there are instances where two females can "friendly" kiss without it being cheating.

My partner and I share the same beliefs in this area, when it comes to cheating. I feel that if he kisses ANYBODY else, it's cheating and if I kiss someone else, cheating. However, if I actually saw him or heard of him kissing another man, especially if it was his closest guy friend, I would laugh hysterically. I wouldn't be mad or angry or FEEL cheated on. I know, it's strange, but I'm just being honest here. The relationship he has with his best guy friend is... funny? Cute? They're REALLy good friends. They say "I love you man" and everything. Not daily, but when they have sentimental moments like when his friend nearly died. It's really nice that they're like that, but if they kissed, I would just think it funny.

If this was something my partner did often, I'd be suspicious. I'd have to ask that the man kissing stop. Lol. I wouldn't freak out though. Plus, I highly doubt it'd ever happen.

Now, if my partner kissed a female.... Oh no! I would not have it. I'd leave. Unless it was a kiss from a family member or something of that nature. Like a grandma, aunt or the other elderly women in our lives. I would not think a thing of that.

As for me kissing another girl, well, I've done it. Who hasn't? Where I'm from, growing up, we kissed our close girl friends all the time. If we were excited about something, we might grab the other's face and plant a friendly kiss on em'. It wasn't sexual ever or any big deal. Me and my girl friends have experimented before in our teen days, but I wouldn't ever do that now. I wouldn't actually have a passionate, long kiss with anybody else because that, in my opinion, would be cheating. However, a simple pop on the face when it's a close friend or family member, that's nothing.

This, exactly.

It depends on the situation in my opinion, but if it's on the lips and more than just a peck (and the person isn't family) I'd say it might qualify as cheating. But if you're in the middle of a threesome (or are in a poly relationship/have obtained permission from your significant other) or it's just a little peck on the lips/cheek/forehead/ha nd it's alright.
Different people would see it in different ways though.

I think if you are truly in love with the same gender, then yes, it is cheating.

I think it all boils down to how your partner feels. Some people have open or poly relationships so nothing is cheating, other people would be hurt and feel betrayed by much less than a kiss.

If you've discussed it with your partner and both agreed that it's okay, it's not cheating. If not, it is.

Gender isn't a factor in what I do or don't consider cheating, though whatever boundaries people decide on together in their relationships are cool.
I'm queer and polyamorous, I don't really mind if either of my partners kiss other people, of any gender. If they want to have sex with someone other than me or each other, then that needs to be discussed, but I am happy to let them make out freely. =D

Unless you're in a polyamorous relationship and you've followed the rules you and your partner have or your partner knows you'd like to experiment with the same sex and they're ok with it, it's cheating.

Anything not already agreed upon by both partners counts as cheating.

It depends on the relationship but if either partner hasn't expressed that they're okay with it, it's cheating.
