Romancing The Clone

The article refers to male dominance as one of the main interests in the common understanding of the ideology of "romance." This then can lead to violence. I was recently reading that the rate of child abuse in lesbian households. Does this reinforce the ideology that romance is exclusive to heterosexual couples?

If bridal magazines can change to fit the needs of the public in the 60's and 70's when free love was popular and marriage was not, why can't they also change today to represent non-tradition marriages such as mixed race or homosexual?
