No I didn’t include in the question the same arguments or same type of arguments because I think that’s obvious. Of course you do. But I’ve always been curious if you have a different kind of arguments or issues. Ones that heterosexuals might not have to have or things that come up that are unique to your relationships. Just a curiosity. I have no motive behind these questions. I recently befriended a lesbian couple (yes strictly friends) and I’m curious. Do things like jealousy run the same or is it less or more perhaps?
Let's say you have twenty heterosexual couples. They aren't going to all have the same type of arguments. Some will argue about in-laws, other will argue about money. Another couple may have arguments because one party is jealous for no reason, another because someone is actually cheating. Others will argue about their children - which can break down into multiple categories such as buying designer jeans, discipline, when they can learn to drive, whether they can stay overnight with friends, etc. Couples can argue about politics, what movie to see, where to vacation. Some argue all the time, some barely at all. It's endless. Why do you think same sex couples wouldn't have basically the same arguments? People are people.
They're human beings and have their differences between them just as straight people do. We all have (arguably) similar wants and needs in life but it would be such a sad uninspiring bland world if everyone had the same opinions and preferences in life.

I recently befriended a heterosexual couple (yes strictly friends ) and I can't say I ever wondered what they argue about. Because it could be 10 million different things and that's just not interesting to me.
I honestly put some thought into this, and I don't think there are really that many differences between straight and gay relationships. Sometimes, I chuckle because some of the arguments I get into with my partner are very similar to those that my parents used to get into when I was a kid. What should we have for dinner tonight? How should we spend our money? Should we get a dog?
There are often less defined gender roles than what you'll find in opposite sex relationships, but at the end of the day, we're pretty much regular, boring couples like everyone else.

That's definitely something I've heard from my gay and lesbian friends. Because there can't be assumptions of the "the man does this task" and "the woman does this task," those domestic tasks have to be communicated and agreed upon, so there might even be fewer arguments (assuming a healthy, functional relationship, etc. etc. )
