What happens if a lesbian and a gay guy want to get married?

[originalpckelly]

Isn't that gay marriage? Come on now, you have to admit the current law already allows gay marriage, just not same sex marriage.

1. Lots of gay people are married, just as lots of gay people are

ordained.

4. If they don't have sex...

that would make them fit in with other married couples. ;-)

3. I was gay and I was married.

Of course, I thought that if I got married I wouldn't be gay anymore. Didn't work.

5. Would it have to be consummated to be defined as marriage?

From Wikipedia ---

As a verb, consummate means to bring something to its completion, such as a transaction, concept, plan or action.

Marriages are said to be consummated when the act of sexual intercourse has taken place after the ceremony. In some theologies or societies, a marriage is not considered a binding contract until and unless it has been consummated. Within the Catholic Church, a refusal or inability to consummate the marriage is one of the main reasons to obtain an annulment. Some theologians, such as Fr. John A. Hardon, argue that contraceptive intercourse does not consummate a marriage.

In the United States legal system, there have been Supreme Court rulings that a marriage could be declared null and void if it had not been consummated.

The adjective consummate describes something that is complete or a person that is supremely skilled.

7. You pays your fee for a marriage license, and voila! you are married!

Really, the government is not in the 'marriage' business. It is a civil function, about allocating government benefits based upon following the civil statutes, and collecting fees.

If you want to be 'married', that is a uniquely religious function.

And what do you call individuals that do not follow the civil statutes and obtain marriage licenses and pay their fees, and also do not go through a 'religious' ceremony that bestows the status of 'married' upon them? But they live committed lives to one another in every other way?

Some states have an answer for that --it is called "common law marriage." Live together holding yourself out same as husband and wife for a given period of time and the government recognizes you as 'married.' Why the need for this designation? Because it helps the government to assign a status to you for purposes of allocating rights and responsibilities in regard to you and your children.

9. I had a lesbian friend who wanted to appease her parents,

who kept bugging her to get married. So she married a gay guy. They had a child. She told me that they only had sex once and that was the result.
