We already know that gay marriage is going to hurt heterosexual marriage, but also: not having gay marriage hurts heterosexual marriage. Because it’s allowing straight women to get scammed into getting hitched to homosexuals as part of a green card scam!
What, you don’t have a straight girlfriend that accidentally married a gay male foreigner whom tricked her into donning a wedding dress to secure permanent citizenship? Then you don’t know Long Island’s Samina Khan, 31, who only last year concluded husband Farrukh Khan was A Gay after spotting him kissing up on another man — in her car. (He denied it happened.) That’s how she knew he was gay, she told a judge that granted her an annulment, and not the fact that over the course of their 7-month marriage, they never did the nasty.
Samina met Farrukh, 35, two years ago at a singles event for professional Muslims. She later spotted Farrukh’s profile on a Muslim dating site — where he said he was a “network engineer” and a restaurant partner earning more than $100,000 a year — and hit it off with him after they went on a speed date arranged by the service.
After a quick courtship, the couple tied the knot in June 2008. They even pushed up the date so Farrukh could visit his ailing father in Pakistan. The marriage allowed him to return to the United States. “Clearly, he just did this for a green card,” Samina said. “The day after the [marriage] paperwork was in, he just ignored me.”
For weeks, Samina said, she ignored the obvious signs, including their bizarre living arrangement. Samina moved with Farrukh into a one-family house in Westbury he was sharing with his friend, the friend’s wife and their son. Samina said she drove the men every morning to the train station and they would return very late at night. She also said that Farrukh and his friend shared clothes and cash and bought groceries together.
It’s like, can’t a dude buy another dude some non-fat milk and fava beans without his wife thinking he’s gonna run off with his married male roommate?

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

There is no such thing as “permanent citizenship”. Permanent residency aka green card, yes, and just “citizenship”, yes. By marrying a US citizen, the Farrukh guy would have been getting the former, and after being a permanent resident thus for 3 years, would have been eligible for citizenship.

If anybody should be advocating for gay rights in the Middle East it should be women, in countries where you can be arrested or even killed for being gay, of COURSE many will stay closeted, marry a woman and have them both trapped in an unhappy marriage. Women in those countries should be Marching in the millions for gay rights. (In the countries where women are allowed any rights of their own)

@Cam: I think this is why EVERYONE should be free to live their lives. This also goes for the people getting into sham marriages here [including politicians ;-)]. Spread the word. PEACELUVNBWILD!

Hm. I agree, that would probably cut down this sort of thing.
It might also cut down on gays marrying women to cement their closets, albeit indirectly.

Why do people always act as if only gay men marry straight women? You guys act as if no lesbian has EVER married a gay man. Is it because you can’t fathom a woman being deceitful? Is it because you don’t consider lesbians gay, or sexual, or real? Is it because you don’t think women have responsibilities to their spouses the way men do?
Really, could someone please explain why lesbians are always missing from discussions about gay people who deceitfully marry straight people?
TampaZeke
Make that, “you guys act as if no lesbian has EVER married a STRAIGHT man.”

This shows why it is important to accurately refer to the issue as same sex marriage. Millions of gay people are already married to persons of the opposite gender. Same sex marriage allows the same variety of reason and benefits to same sex couples whether they are gay or not, whether they are lovey-dovey or not. People get married for all sorts of reasons. The benefit of a same sex marriage to a non-gay couple could be significant

maybe this wouldn’t be an issue if he could have been sponsored by an actual partner. until one can sponsor their same-sex partner for immigration, there will be people doing whatever they can to bring their family together, including fraudulent straight marriages. give us the same access to legal immigration that straight folks have and straight marriage fraud wouldn’t be necessary.

To add to the point made by @Ionos, a permanent green card is only permanent in the sense that there is no expiration date. That is not to say it cannot be revoked and a legal permanent resident be deported for violating immigration law (by, for example, getting a sham marriage to earn your green card). I’d imagine this annulment resulted in him getting put into removal proceedings since the basis for his LPR status was his marriage.

This would be less likely to happen to someone who isn’t muslim or from a very conservative background since they don’t have sex before marriage anyway so it’s easy for a gay man to have an excuse for not having sex and then after marriage, the women are screwed (and not in a good way).

@Cam:
First, they have to march to get rights as equal human beings for THEMSELVES before they can march for the gays.

I think to get rid of sexless marriage you should make sure that your partner is not gay or anything which will affect your life……..
