catch 22.

If they deny the claim then they confirm it is special rights for certain sexual behavior.

If they grant the claim then they risk gutting the whole law.

Exactly. This is why I think conservatives were 'wrong' in one sense on the gay marriage issue. We should have demanded full and equal rights AND full and equal responsibilities. That means gay divorce, gay alimony, gay child support, the whole enchilada.

It was only a matter of time until a straight couple sued for discrimination under these laws, and as a result, the laws are going to get gutted.

Why doesn't the woman marry her shack up?
She does have that option.

I love it when liberalism starts to implode with unintended consequences

Why? I don't see why unmarried straights shouldn't get the same benefits that gays do...

Gays can't marry. Straights can.
