Well as you know in a straight relationship you have a woman who is feminine and a man who is masculine, so does the same thing occur in a gay relationship? is there someone who is more masculine or feminine than the other? Since im gay, eventually ill be in a gay relationship as well and i would like to know as muh as i can about gay relationships and what to expect when i am in one.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.

Not every heterosexual relationship has traditional gender roles, and neither does every homosexual relationship make use of gender roles. Couples generally do whatever works for them, and so should you when you enter into a relationship.

My last relationship didn't - just two males, with neither in any feminine role - but my next-door neighbour's did: one was the "child" while the other was the older "mother" figure, although neither could have been called "feminine" in nature or mannerism.
It was just the way their relationship worked when they were together.
