WHY FIDELITY? Elizabeth Marquardt

Triplett's musings on fidelity as a "fem-thing" are sweet, if a little patronizing, but fidelity serves another purpose as well--focusing two parents on each other and their child while they are raising their child. Yes, same-sex sex doesn't produce children, but more and more same-sex couples are or would like to raise children. And I don't care if you're a woman, a man, transgender, or whatever else, if one member of a couple starts having sex with someone else then a likely by-product is jealousy. It's hard for a couple to be responsible, loving parents, staying together and working as a team to ensure the best for their child, when sexual jealousy has swept into the mix.
