If a gay woman and a gay man get married, is it still called "gay marriage"? Well novelist Stephanie Theobold and Jake Arnott aren't quite married yet, but they are former gays who fell in love with each other.
In this article they discuss the hetero-phobia they've seen from fellow gays, and share their story of an unconventional love affair.
Jake writes, "And being in a 'straight' relationship certainly doesn't make me butch.
I'm actually a little bit more camp and dizzy for seeing a woman. Boys
can act tough when they're in the majority but it doesn't prove
anything. And it isn't homosexuality that emasculates men, it's
heterosexuality (or it should do if you're doing it properly). The
notion that opposite-sex attraction is a secure sign of masculinity is
a relatively recent one. Romeo complains to his buddies, 'O sweet
Juliet, thy beauty hath made me effeminate.' Perhaps this is a good
thing, because the most obvious observation from my experience is that
inequality of gender remains more profound than that of sexuality."
Both have new novels that discuss their relationships in depth, and you can catch excepts here.
Their story is certainly not the norm, what do you guys think about it?

O Jake, me thinks thou is still thy cocksucker.
They were both Bisexual… this article has def made this issue sound something that it isn’t! This wasn’t two totally gay people turned straight… they were bi! Bi people do this EVERYDAY!
There is NO SUCH THING as a bi-sexual-just men or women who have not the guts to be gay!
Fuck you frankie, not for what you are saying but because you are saying it just to troll. This blog needs to start taking some sort of action against posters who just post to be offensive and stir up argument.
I think it is funny how gays can be so hateful towards bi’s. I am bi and I have to deal with hatred from both sides because I am not focused only on one gender. I sleep with guys, so homophobes hate me, and I sleep with women, so gays don’t trust me. Ironic how because I don’t narrow my search to specific genitalia I get harrassed by someone that complains cuz he gets harrassed for liking different genitalia than the “norm.” Open your eyes and mind before you open your mouth. You just make the whole community look bad, frankie.
