One of the primary arguments for gay marriage is that it will curb promiscuity and promote fidelity. That may depend on whether you define fidelity by the dictionary or with Clintonian creativity. A publication called the Harvard Gay & Lesbian Review was glowingly reviewed in the April 18 New York Times. To underscore the journal's importance, the article quoted the editor, Richard Schneider Jr., as pointing out that debates that take place among gays often presage similar discussions by the " mainstream."
One of those debates is over fidelity to one's spouse. "We know in the gay world that it is possible for two people to be completely in love, completely dedicated to each other but not sexually faithful," said Schneider. "I think that's an issue that the straight world is just beginning to explore as a possibility." THE SCRAPBOOK cannot confirm rumors that Schneider was auditioning for a spot on the White House communications team.
