From what I imagine, this never happened with homosexual relationships. Is there something I am not seeing?

As someone who did actually do this there's a lot of pressure to do so. I didn't actually want to but it was the only way to get the topic dropped by family. I wish I stood up for myself, not the guy. I think some maps have this rosy view where all these relationships are great but sometimes they are relationships that are bad for the kid. When you're in that society tells you to report so you do. I didn't particularly like the guy and he was pushy and manipulative. I would have wanted to end it on my own terms instead of being pressured into it, defending him for years, and then finally doing it.
Also sometimes minors are just raped and it's never bad to report rape.

If you were to report your partner in a homosexual relationship when that was illegal, you'd be ratting on yourself too. A better comparison to make is historical interracial relationships, where white partners wouldn't be punished as severely, or could avoid punishment altogether by claiming rape.

Look into some of Marie Molloy's work. She focuses mainly on the history of slavery, and did a lot of work exploring white women and their relationships with male black slaves. In short, it was rather common for white women in consenting relationships with slaves to either confess when they were under the pressure of being discovered, and it was also common for women who did get discovered to thereafter claim coercion or rape.
