SSM and Monogramy/The Washington Blade

[Another interesting and honest piece by the executive editor of The Washington Blade, well worth reading. I almost feel I should apologize for excerpting the bit of honesty below, which is not central to his argument, but caught my eye during the sudden Polamorous Moment we appear to be in. Maggie]

Don't be Britney at the altar
By Chris Crain Washington Blade, Dec. 23, 2005

I still remember a gay couple who were interviewed after becoming among the first to legally tie the knot, in Provincetown, Mass., in May 2004. They seemed surprised when they were asked if getting married meant that they would be monogamous for life.

That's never been critical to making our relationship work, one of the men told the reporter, so why should it be now?

Ask that same question at your next heterosexual wedding, even if it's at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Vegas, and see how many times you get the same answer.

But they're still likely to be unfaithful. (Blood group stats indicate that a surprisingly high percentage of children are not the offspring of their mother's husband.)

The main difference seems to be that same-sex couples are more likely to have honestly discussed how they feel about sex outside the relationship....
