actually, "homosocial" is used to describe any relationships between/among people of the same sex. could be boss + employee. brothers. nuns.
I really dig the term "bromance" ... for real ... *lol*
Heya Queers United, did you see my last comment regarding a recent rally for Same Sex Marriage Bill HB 73 in New Hampshire o.O?
Also, I think helen_boyd is right XD
This word is thankfully less scary! WHEW!
What is the term if it is two girls?
Helen I did specify that is a non-sexual relationship, but can also take on borderline sexual in most cases which is bromance.
