Thread:Forum:Trope Talk/What are people's thoughts on Heterosexual Life Partners and Platonic Life Partners?/reply

I just skimmed them, and the difference seems pretty clear, the first is 2 characters of the same gender, the second is 2 characters of different genders. That being said, the participants of Heterosexual Life Partners don't have to be straight, so the name is a bit misleading. Platonic Life Partners has might have little implications on gender difference to the truly open minded, although I don't see that as drastic enough of an issue to warrant a name change. If we do fuse them and the resulting page uses one of the current names, I definitely want it to be Platonic Life Partners. If we fuse them we might (eventually) get some examples that involved 1 or 2 non-male non-female character(s) (which is why I don't like it when 1 trope is for boys and their is another identical trope, but for girls).
