If you happen upon my blog and you aren't in the Chicago area, it's a damn shame. Dan Savage of Savage Love fame has a great article in this week's Chicago Reader about swingers. Not the overrated movie -- the open marriage lifestyle of acknowledging lust for other people other than your spouse and acting on that lust as a team.

I'm not, however, writing about this to advocate swinging -- my girlfriend might read this. But I do want to point out that the article makes a very interesting argument about gay marriage.

There are as many swinging couples in the United States as there are potential gay couples. And lesbian couples are more faithful to each other than most married couples. So why is gay marriage is seen as a threat to the sanctity of heterosexual marriage when the biggest "threat" is itself inherently heterosexual?
