I wonder what "monogamous" means to the c-not-of-c gaylesbianbisexualtransgendered crowd/leadership?

Well, I guess what I am really asking is, is there such a thing as "long term" in glbt speak?

A long time ago there was a show called The Love Boat. There were alot of weddings onboard. The wedding vows went like this, "as long as we both shall love". That was instead of the traditional vows of "as long as we both shall live." The Love Boat vows really should have been "as long as I feel like **** you". (several words could apply)

The second reference which follows is an article in the New York Times in which Andrew Shields, World Church Secretary of the Community of Christ, was also quoted. So don't blame me if I infer the c-not-of-c attitude from this article.

The woman quoted claimed to be a lesbian who fell in love with a man. That infers "choice", a bad word with the glbt crowd. She would not have "felt a frisson of fear, waiting for the customary dirty looks or at least for the customary looking-away", if she were "inexperienced". So, "falling in love" with this man is presumably not her first relationship.

So, the question is, what does "monogamy" mean to the glbt/c-not-of-c leadership? Is it kind of like high school "going steady for a few months"?

"The delegate conference, July 18�22, 2012, in Independence, Missouri, will determine the level of support for

1.) Extending the sacrament of marriage to persons of the same sex/gender OR providing a church-recognized way for two persons of the same sex/gender to publicly express their commitment to each other.

2.) Allowing people in committed, monogamous, long-term, same sex/gender relationships (legal marriage, civil union, church-recognized commitment) to be considered for ordination.

The delegates� common consent will determine if present policies will remain in place or new policies will need to be written and implemented.

These are difficult issues......"

A Kiss Too Far?
By GUY TREBAY
Published: February 18, 2007 (bold by Lois)

After considering herself exclusively lesbian for decades, Sarah Van Arsdale, a novelist, not long ago found, to her surprise, that she had fallen in love with a man. At first, as she wrote last week in an e-mail message from a writer's colony in Oaxaca, Mexico, '' Whenever we would hold hands in public, I felt a frisson of fear, waiting for the customary dirty looks or at least for the customary looking-away.''

In place of revulsion, Ms. Van Arsdale was startled to discover that, having adjusted her sexual identity, she was now greeted by strangers with approving smiles. ''I felt suddenly acceptable and accepted and cute, as opposed to queer,'' she said.
