Swinging In The Great White North
Just in time to swing in the New Year, Canada approves consensual swinging! Leave it to the Canadians to make it legal for consenting adults to "swing" in private clubs. How progressive is that? If they did something like that in the U.S., we'd be having protests, marches, candle light vigils and expert commentaries from Dr. Ruth, Monica Lewinski and our favorite good ol' boy, Bill Clinton. In the middle of all the expert commentaries, we'd be flying in counselors for our students, and Oprah would start a relief effort to help those affected by the shocking news.
From Yahoo! News on Dec. 27:
"In a landmark decision on Dec, 21, the Supreme Court of Canada lifted a ban on swingers' clubs, ruling that group sex among consenting adults is neither prostitution nor a threat to society.The ruling sparked outrage, largely in English-speaking parts of Canada, where critics said it would erode limits on indecency or obscenity, encourage prostitution and even contribute to the corruption of minors.
In the mainly French-speaking and predominantly Catholic province of Quebec, however, the decision caused barely a ripple of adverse reaction. Newspaper editorialists fumed in Toronto, but largely yawned in Montreal.
Swingers across Canada cheered the ruling, especially those in Quebec, where adherents go to clubs not only to meet others like them, but also to have sex on the premises."
Note to self: Vacation in Canada soon!
