Sean Faircloth:
Attack of the Theocrats!
If people do not wish to remain faithful, why get married which involves making a promise to commit to one person? No-one gets married saying they want to be cheated on, lied to, and possibly humiliated in the process, and certainly children often suffer when their parents deceive each other.
What two or more consenting adults do in private, what parts of their anatomy they rub together or where they insert them is surely no-one's business. However, once someone is being deceived (e.g. a spouse/partner) then that individual (and only that individual) is involved but not "consenting" and their part in the theatre cannot be dismissed.
Regarding "celebs" and what they do - who cares?
