Dude Looks Like a Lady

Hakim Nelson and Jason Stenson, a same sex couple, were married in New York when a clerk failed to realize Hakim was male.  In the clerk’s defense, Hakim did wear an orange dress and white leggings to the ceremony, but anyone who’s seen The Crying Game should’ve known that was a ruse. Ya’ gotsta check these days.  Though a marriage license was obtained and certified, the city clerk’s office says the marriage is not valid because the couple has one too many penises.

What worries me most about this situation is that you know Hollywood execs now feel exonerated for all those ridiculously implausible gender disguise plots they’ve put out over the years.  The suits are all in a board room somewhere smoking cigars and patting each other on the back saying, “see, I told you White Chicks was a good idea.”  Or, “I never doubted She’s the Man could happen in real life.  It just felt organic and right.”  One of the execs just dusted off a script about a ring of pre-op gender reassignment midgets who pose as female CIA agents tasked with seducing Gorbachev during the Cold War that the execs have been sittin’ on cuz’ even they thought it was implausible and said, “what the hell.  Let’s give it a go.”
