The first couple to receive marriage liscense confirms what critics described as most likely pattern for gay marriage.

"e says the concept of forever is``overrated'' and that he, as a bisexual, and Rogahn, who is gay, have chosen to enjoy an open marriage. ``I think it's possible to love more than one person and have more than one partner, not in the polygamist sense,'' he said.``In our case, it is, we have, an open marriage.''"

So even if they ARE faithful to each other, it's suspect that they are because it's just plain inherent in their nature and they're just afraid to say their NOT faithful?


I'm pretty sure that we all know at least ONE heterosexual male that fits that promiscuous profile.

>>It's based on established gay behavior. Male homosexuals very rarely have exclusive relationships. The vast majority of long term relationships they have are open. <<

Because they're gay, male, or marginalized? No one can say for sure, so the quote from the article was kind of pointless and unecessary.

>>>We'll be heading to Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada for a legal marriage this summer.

When we can get LEGALLY married in the US, we'll travel to wherever that is and get married there, too<<<<

Well Janna I'm glad I got your sex correct I was starting to think I missed something..Congratulations on getting hitched. It's a shame that you and your partner will have to keep having all of these different ceremonies but on a lighter note do you get wedding gifts each time? ;)

No, I am just going on my own experience and people I know whom are both and the partner ratio has been exceededly high for the homosexuals I have come in contact with, read about and people who I know who know others. that's all:)

Alsothere is a difference with a man who cheats on his wife secretively and without her knowledge or ok and a couple who is open to multiple partners in their marriage.

However, her sister has served notice that when we can finally do it LEGALLY, wild horses will have to keep her away.


Hey, don't you mean your Sister In-Law :)

I agree, I would find that man to be reprehensible while I would not care about the second in the slightest.

Oh, so your PERSONAL experience is representative of mankind as a whole?


Gotcha.

So it's clearly irrational for YOU to discuss relationships with people with whom you have a common bond (waiting to get married) and perfectly logical for another poster to have intimate knowledge of the relationships of homosexuals with whom she has "come in contact."

Really Janna, makes perfect sense to me. OK, maybe not so much.

Do you ever read some of this hooey that people are desperately trying to sell, and just 'sigh' out loud?

You have to be bitter in order to respond the way you do. I never said that but hey you interpret mine and others posts with that same "see what you want to see" mentality. Wasn't it you who was dicussing those new "couples" you just met and how they were supposedly "exclusive" couples? Weren't you the one using that personal experience as a way to defend your POV that homosexual couples are loyal to one another? Why is it you can use your personal adventures as support for your POV but I can't wihtout you sounding condecending? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
