SilverNRed Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 This is funny on several levels: Toronto Sun WHAT'S LOVE got to do with it? Bill Dalrymple, 56, and best friend Bryan Pinn, 65, have decided to take the plunge and try out the new same-sex marriage legislation with a twist -- they're straight men. "I think it's a hoot," Pinn said. The proposal came last Monday on the patio of a Toronto bar amid shock and laughter from their friends. But the two -- both of whom were previously married and both of whom are still looking for a good woman to love -- insist that after the humour subsided, a real issue lies at the heart of it all. "There are significant tax implications that we don't think the government has thought through," Pinn said. Dalrymple has been to see a lawyer already and there are no laws in marriage that define sexual preference. "We heteros haven't done a great job with marriage as it is," Pinn said. They want to shed light on the widespread financial implications of the new legislation and are willing to take it all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Adams Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 It isn't legal unless the marrage is consummated. Hope its worth it fellas. 406786[/snapback] That's funny. To be a legal dickhead though, at least in many states in the US, it's not the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
