I'm really sorry to hear about your dilemma here *hug* but as others have said, it's nothing to do with being gay. I can see whay you ask the question above, but a couple married for 15 years still gets asked for copies of joint bills, bank statements etc for the last 12 months when they apply. The most recent 12 months are what really counts with NZ, and without it Immigration do not tend to look favourably on the application.
I hope that you find a solution soon!
Timing can be rubbish, and the game of finding enough temp visas to keep the relationship going long enough to qualify for something long-term too. It can be done. I'm not sure how in your case (am not at all knowledgeable on Indian WHVs for instance!), but there should be something... somewhere.. but it may involve both of you living somewhere with no right to work for a while for instance.
Whatever you do, KEEP RECORDS. Get both of your names on EVERYTHING. Every little helps.
