Who's to say they're lying? I guess you'd have no problem with CBS putting an incestuous mother-son team on the Amazing Race and calling them "married"--because who's to say they're not? Or how about two 14 year olds? Any problem with calling them "married" on TV as long as that's what they call themselves? Do you have children? Aren't you concerned that children will be at least confused by it? Maybe your kids are ok, but many many others may not be.

Your "think of the children" argument falls on deaf ears because a parent who doesn't want their children "confused" by this should not let their children watch the show. People who expect television to raise their children for them get what they deserve: screwed up kids.

And, frankly, any child who is old enough to notice and question why two men are captioned as "married" is old enough to have a discussion about the issue with their parents. A parent should welcome the opportunity to discuss how they feel about the issue with their children.
