I believe I have found the solution. Have gay men marry gay women - there, your married. You simply choose to have an open marriage and sleep with your same sex partner.

Since she is a lesbo, she will not care you are sleeping with a man.

You gay folks need to get together and solve this.

I've wondered if a man who was once a woman has ever married a woman who was once a man.

What this whole gay marriage kerfluffle is all about is acceptance. They want a stamp of approval on their lifestyle. If you read the writers, especially Sullivan, that's the bottom line. The arguments about medical benefits aren't the real reason why it's being pushed (although with AIDS it's certainly an issue). That's why civil unions are not enough.

Of course, it won't work. Even if the imposition of gay marriage -- even if it's actually voted on by actual non-judicial-type people -- is not followed with rampant divorces and a culture of open gay marriage, society will accept homosexuality only to a limited extent.

I could say this probably stems from a psychological need for acceptance that is much more familial, but why speculate on the obvious?
