An amicus brief filed recently by a group of “same-sex attracted men and their wives” argues that “same-sex marriage can only come at the cost of marginalizing and demeaning the marriages and families” of gay men married to straight women
Won’t somebody think of the children? The sky fairies say its wrong. The thought of two men together, well it’s just icky. All common arguments against marriage equality. How’s this one for you: the Supreme Court should not rule in favor of striking down bans on same-sex marriage because to do so would demean marriages between gay men and their wives.
An amicus brief filed by a group of “same-sex attracted men and their wives” argues that “same-sex marriage can only come at the cost of marginalizing and demeaning the marriages and families” of gay men married to straight women.
The brief aims to prove that gay people can have fulfilling marriages by marrying someone of the opposite sex, thereby rendering same-sex marriage unnecessary.
It provides the personal testimonies of ten openly gay men who are married to straight women. One of the petitioners says that admitting his “same-sex attractions” to his wife has brought “renewed closeness” to their relationship.
Earlier this year, TLC aired Mormon-centric reality “My Husband’s Not Gay” which followed – to much derision – a group of openly gay men who are married to straight women.
