(CNN) The legalization of same-sex marriage has given way to a new problem for a Pennsylvania couple, who technically are father and son.
Before states across the country began striking down bans on same-sex marriage and the Supreme Court ultimately decided the issue nationwide, some gay couples used adoption laws as a way to gain legal recognition as a family, and the related benefits such as inheritance and hospital visitation rights.
Nino Esposito, a retired teacher, adopted his partner Roland "Drew" Bosee, a former freelance and technical writer, in 2012, after more than 40 years of being a couple.

Don’t we all just love those intriguing combinations?! Thank you, thank you, US Supreme Court.
I’m waiting for the guy who wants to marry his horse. Seriously. Now that we’ve thrown out the traditional meaning of marriage who’s to say it’s wrong to marry a horse. Or a goat. Or dog. I mean if they really love each other.
Me neither.
“is going”=”has gone”
Well, since I can’t “marry” my elderly, widowed mom (yet) maybe I can adopt her so that she will be covered on my insurance.
Still, it’s not a “nothing” story. The fact that a father and his adopted son want to marry does not hinge on the word “adopted”. How would it be any different if they were biological father and son? They won’t in-breed. Same-sex couples don’t breed anything except what you could get off the restroom floor.
HERE WE GO!
I’m waiting for the guy who wants to marry his horse....What...what? You mean me and Ellie May is living in sin?
