Gay Affairs Don't Count

According to the story in the Globe and Mail, extramarital affairs that occur between members of the same sex don't count. Seems a woman was suing for divorce after her husband admitted an affair with another man. The judge refused to grant a summary divorce (as opposed to a no-fault after a year apart) because according to common law an adulterous affair is "penetrative sexual contact between a man and a woman not married to each other and one of whom is married to someone else,".

She now wants to change the definition to include when the husband shags the pool-boy. Those straight people are nuts, wanting to change the definition of deeply held, societally established beliefs. They really shouldn't be mucking about with such things. I mean if adultery was good enough for their ancestors, and if their ancestors never thought to enumerate gay sex as adulterous, well by omission they MUST not have meant for it to be included. And that means that gay sex isn't adulterous.
