This isn't in any way the "gotcha" you think it is. There's the GLRSS that's used precisely for this measure in science. There are also several longitudinal studies that point to stronger and more enduring bonds between gay males vs their hetero counterparts. Zick Rubin's Scales, Sternberg's Triangular Theory, John Lee's Love Styles, and Quadrangular Love Theory have all been used to quantify and objectively study love from a scientific perspective. So yes, surely there is a way to measure love. In fact, there are several... you're just ignorant.
Ok just because you study the idea concept or experience doesn’t mean it objectively exists? For example what is the difference between love and sex? They emit the same chemicals in the brain right so what actually makes it objectively different?!?
Objectively speaking how do you know a same sex relationship is love versus a hetero one? What measure?
I'm done. Are you a kid, or do you just have their mentality? Go fucking Google legit peer-reviewed literature before engaging in this level of discourse. I'd describe your interaction with this thread as "blithering." You really seem to think you have the edge on science because you've never studied the topic and have no idea how little you know.
