With same-sex marriage being legalized at such a rapid rate across the country, it stands to reason we'll be seeing an increase in same-sex weddings.
And you know the gays set a high bar, Instincters.
Saturday Night Live touched on this last night in a hilarious sketch that touched upon heterosexual anxiety over our inevitably flawless and meticulously planned same-sex weddings with a spoof commercial for "Xanax for Gay Summer Weddings."
Hell, even some of us gays may need a prescription. Watch after the jump!

New York City's mayoral contest is getting a lot of attention not only due to the battle between Democratic candidates Christine Quinn (who would be the city's first openly gay mayor) and Bill de Blasio, but also because of discussion of de Blasio's wife's sexual orientation.
De Blasio's wife, Chirlane McCray famously wrote the 1979 essay, "I Am A Lesbian" for Essence magazine. Now 34 years later, McCray has been happily married to de Blasio for 19 years and is a mother of two.

We're simultaneously confused and amused by this latest "Between Two Ferns video from Zach Galifianakis, courtesy of Funny Or Die.
It's got things we like: James Franco. Zach Galifianakis making fun of James Franco.
And then it suddenly morphs into a music video for Andy Samberg's Lonely Island, that seemingly celebrates Spring Break (Franco reference?) and "marrying a man."
Oh and there are a few man-on-man kisses including one with James Franco that we'll add to our list of things that we like.
But we're still confused. Watch after the jump!

What's that saying about a bad penny? They always turn up? Well in this case, we're really wishing Joab Penney wouldn't.
The Florida man who entered into a fraudulent marriage with his husband via forged documents filed in Iowa is now renouncing his homosexuality and is upset that his illegal marriage hasn't been declared void.
Yeah. We were confused too.
The Associated Press clears things up after the jump!

The United States is a melting pot of diversity, except when it comes to profile headers gay men use on Manhunt. In all but one state, the most frequent user headline was a simple "Hey guys."
In Connecticut, however, users however have bypassed the rest of the country for a more pressing (pardon the pun) issue by being the only state where "Looking for a top" is the most frequent header. Times are rough (or not, actually) in Connecticut.
