    Why is this news? People get married all the time and no one cares.

      They’re trying to pander to the conspiracy theorists for a quick buck. This story probably took less than an hour to research and write, and probably brought in some decent ad revenue from the gays-taking-over-the-world crowd.

      Do remember that’s a tenet of Putin’s justification for opposition to the west.

      edit because tenant and tenet are different words

        they are seemingly gay

        seemingly? as somewhat of an expert on the subject, i’ll say that if two men marry each other, the chances that they’re gay is exceedingly high.

          No, they’re just roommates! They got married for the tax benefits!

    mazel tov, but this isn’t really newsworthy.

    edit: even in c/technology, i’d be on the fence about this being technology-related

    Marketers market gays and breed the hatred from the conservatives. We should all go to war with marketers. They are using lgbt people for profit.

    It’s not just the LGBT community they do this to.

    Marketing is the enemy of all of us. They will gladly stoke division to make money.

      although what you’re describing certainly happens, i don’t believe that’s what’s happening in this case. this isn’t some tabloid rag running some inflammatory, exploitative headline.
