Gay Marriage Between Men and Women

Nicola Davison at Slate:
I'm at a fake-marriage market, where Chinese lesbians and gay men meet to find a potential husband or wife. In China, the pressure to form a heterosexual marriage is so acute that 80 percent of China's gay population marries straight people, according to sexologist Li Yinhe, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. To avoid such unions, six months ago, Shanghai's biggest gay Web site, inlemon.cn, started to hold marriage markets once a month.
Shampagne all around.

    THAT's the great line, but I didn't think it really fit.

    Because, you know, I sure don't wish those folks pain. Looks like they're already getting it.

    I cannot think of ANYDAMNTHING hotter than a chinese lesbian.

    I'm willing to become gay if one would marry me and let me hang around with her friends...

    well, it is really a good thing that such sham marriages would never happen in America, due to the Freedom Fries and the Wolverines and the Mitch McConnels and such like.
