Confined by the times, Mad Men's Kitty and Sal Romano are in a sad situation — a lavender marriage. A what? It's when a gay person is married to a straight person. Sometimes the straight party knows; sometimes she doesn't. But, almost always, the gay person is in denial.

I dated a guy once who was going through a divorce after eighteen years and three kids later. He was forty four and although he'd had hook ups during his marriage I was his first relationship with a male. I knew it wouldn't last because I was the first sample in the candy store this dude was about to go buck wild, lol. I see him now and then he still hasn't settled down.

I find this post offensive. The 'not just hair' reference, the slang terms to describe some peoples' relationships, comparing real relationships to t.v. relations - "Three's Company"??

I totally agree, Hypno. That's a great reason that gay marriage is empowering to women.

I've met a number of divorced or separated men who played normal knowing they liked men just to please society and family only to leave the marriage 10 to 25 years later to finally be who they really are. It's not fair to women but in all fairness the sooner society gets over homosexuality the sooner women can stop marrying gay men who are playing straight.

I guess a picture of Katie Holmes was a little too on-the-nose for the topic, huh Tres? :)
