That's what you get when you're married. Married legally, I should specify. Which is something truly infuriating in this day and age. Not that you're married, I mean.

Were you up late or something? I am not understanding your "married legally" thing.

Though yeah, the lack of gay is a downside.

I worried that that didn't make sense.

I was working on the premise of monogamous marriage, which not all marriages are and not all should be. But, that given, marriage itself should not necessarily exclude gay, i.e. if you are gay and married to someone who is also gay. However, because so many people are ignorant and blind and need firm whacks on the head, it is not legally possible for someone who is gay to marry someone who is gay, and therefor it is impossible to be legally married, monogamous, and have gay in your life. This was also functioning on the premise that "gay in your life" was gay sex, thus making monogamy an impossibly, though I am aware you didn't mean that in that way. Rather, I was trying to make a horrified-old-19th. c-lady kind of statement (in the vein of "K! Don't look at Femme's ankles! You're married!") and then relate it to 21 c. issues. I failed. I failed at all of it.

Yeah, up late.
