An Open Letter to the Lesbian Couple who Chose to Falsely Claim a Woman is Transgender to Legally Marry
Kristin Capobianco

"Below is an open letter responding to Christine and Jacki, the couple who decided to have Jacki falsely claim she was transgender in order to secure a marriage license. Christine calls it a "loophole" in the video recently aired on the Huffington Post, and she still calls her spouse "she." Why? Because they're lesbians, and no one is transgender in this relationship."

Good article. The whole thing is bizarre. If people think this will make conservatives say, "Huh, guess we can't prevent gay marriage because of those loopholes, so we should go ahead and legalize it across the board," they are sorely mistaken. We're all going to suffer. If she wanted to have surgery, that's fine with me; the issue I have is that they publicized it when it's already difficult enough for us to be taken seriously.

No waaay! I remember this woman being on Oprah so many years ago.

I have to say, Jesus, this is fricking weird. Who has a sex change just for that?? I'm all for gay marriage, I think it's terrible to deny two people who love each other the right to be in a marriage...but to...I have no words. =/ This is an absolutely gut-wrenching process and it offends me that anyone would use it as a "loophole." I think the person who wrote the response letter is spot on.
