http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2010/08/so-this-lady-wants-to-marry-some-guy.htmlThe BBC is reporting that a woman in Hong Kong is trying to marry her boyfriend.
Okaaaaaaaaay....
The issue is that doctors declared the woman in question, who we'll call "W" (because her lawyer didn't give the BBC her name) to be a boy back when she was in the hospital following her birth. Ergo, the government is under the impression that she and her boyfriend are both men.
Her lawyer isn't pressing that same-sex marriage should be legal, because, well, you know, this doesn't directly involve same-sex marriage.
