I would think wanting to marry someone of the same sex would rule out being considered "straight". I'm straight...why would I want to marry another woman? Not my cup of tea, though I do have gay and bi friends. I love my BFF of 47 years dearly and we're so close that we tell each other our secrets, but damn if I'd want to marry her.I was reading an article about how same sex partners will now be able to collect social security benefits, pensions, and all the things that we straights take for granted.
This made me wonder do you have to be gay/lesbian to have a same sex marriage. Is there any reason why two straight people of the same sex cant get married. I dont have anyone personally in mind but say you do. Maybe a best friend? The person you choose would be eligible for social security benefits, pensions, and all the things that we straights take for granted.
Back before the scandal hit about our then Governor McGreevy, who was married to a woman, having sex with a man, he signed into law that a gay partner could be beneficiary of his/her partner's state benefits. The same privilege was not given to straight people. I think it's because at that time, gay couples could not legally marry.
