Best novel about a long term gay relationship?

Someone posed this question to me during a discussion of the New York Senate's recent vote to legalize gay marriage: what is the best representation of a long term gay relationship in literature?

I had to admit a stunning ignorance---nothing I could think of really fit. So, not only did my street cred as literary know-it-all take a ding, but now I want to read something along these lines.

Any ideas?
