When I think about dating and relationships, especially when talking with friends, I tend to come to the same conclusion: Monogamy isn’t possible. I feel that in the gay world, no matter how committed a couple appears to be, or how beautiful their life together looks, or even how perfect they seem, there always seems to be the threat of infidelity lurking in the background.

[I also read that Canada had to close a bunch of it's Boy Scout club houses and lay off tons of people because their numbers dropped so drastically. A lot of boys missed out on what would have been a great education, if it weren't for well-founded parental concerns.]
