    After 40 years in a relationship that has been one huge misunderstanding, the sex must've been really weird and awkward.

    The stat I read was around 60% gay couples and around 25% hetero couples, which sounds a lot more realistic than equal. Of course 60% is much lower than most homophobic people think (which is 100%), so it's a useful thing to point out - but also irrelevant, since distasteful as it may be to someone else, there is nothing morally wrong with any kind of sex between consenting adults...
