Swing Both Rays is both a phrase used to refer to being a fan of both Ray Vecchio and Ray Kowalski from Due South, or a fan who ships those two Rays together.
It is also the name of a due South mailing list. See SwingBothRays (mailing list).
The Phrase
For those fans who liked — or even tolerated — both Rays, negotiating the Ray waters was trickier. One phrase was "I swing both Rays", a play on "I swing both ways" or being bisexual. The quote's origin is traced back to a FAQ on the DSX fan fiction list, when the administrator ruled that third season material could be included on the list.[1]
"Swinging Both Rays" also means fans who ship Ray Vecchio/Ray Kowalski.
