The Tin Man

I Wonder…

Do you ever wonder if the reason some people are against marriage equality is because they will no longer be assumed to be straight if someone sees them wearing a wedding ring? That if they say “I am married,” someone will respond, “Oh, to a man or to a woman?”

Throw in a little insecurity over your own sexual orientation and there you go.

That’s a new angle to me. I don’t think you have to worry about that particular concern.

Am I that gay?

I think this just flows from your ability to think of many possible scenarios.

The thought occurred to me.

I have personally experienced it from the other direction. Sex with married guys is hot and wedding bands are a major turn on. Nowadays, however, you can’t be sure the ring means he’s married to a woman any more.
