Straight couples don't have to be monogamous to be married or married to be monogamous. monogamy no more defines marriage than the presence of children does. monogamy isn't compulsory and its absence doesn't invalidate a marriage.

More From Dan Savage

I don't think [being monogamous] is a natural instinct for human beings, but it doesn't mean i don't believe in monogamy or true love. i believe in finding a soul mate. monogamy can be hard work for some people. i don't think it applies to everybody, and i don't think a lot of people can do it.
Believe Hard Work Mean
If the court strikes down the defense of marriage act, is that a 'liberal' result enabling gay couples married in states where gay marriage is legal to enjoy the same economic advantages that federal laws now grant to straight couples? or is it a 'conservative' ruling, limiting the federal government's ability to override state power?
Couple Gay Government
Polygamy and polyandry distribute the frightening physical solidarity of monogamy. monogamous couples are always hungry for company: to dilute sex.
Sex Couple Hungry
Marriage is a sort of tacit hunting in couples. the world all in couples, each couple in its own little house, watching its own little interests and stewing in its own little privacy - it's the most repulsive thing in the world. one's got to get rid of the exclusiveness of married love.
Love Couple Hunting
You know, i feel like people in this country who feel really strongly about a man and a woman being the only -- the sole sort of gatekeeper of marriage should also support people staying together. i mean, a lot of heterosexual couples don't stay together, and i think that's as upsetting as two people who are really committed and loving and have been monogamous for many years wanting to ... be married and have -- share some of the same rights that this country is so uniquely qualified to give people.
Country Couple Mean
I support ensuring that committed gay couples have the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple in this country. i believe strongly in stopping laws designed to take rights away and passing laws that extend equal rights to gay couples. i've required all agencies in the federal government to extend as many federal benefits as possible to lgbt families as the current law allows. and i've called on congress to repeal the so-called defense of marriage act and to pass the domestic partners benefits and obligations act.
