I Now Pronounce You Lame and Humorless: Two men are suing their college's alumni magazine after an announcement appeared in it claiming that they are life partners and members of the fictitious Gay Rights Brigade.

As a result, Mary decided to end her marriage with Jane in order to live in her house with (children) Philip (and) Charles and Lisa. What are the rights of Mary and Jane?" -- "patently offensive and morally repugnant." Tragically, he's not referring to the spousal abuse aspect of it either. (Advocate)
