Two men became the first same-sex couple to marry in New York. But there's a little something wrong with this picture here: gay marriages are illegal in NYC.
Hakim Nelson (pictured, right) and Jason Stenson (left) married on May 26 with nary a raised eyebrow among the oblivious city bureaucrats who not only OK'd the marriage license, but conducted the ceremony, despite gay marriage being illegal in the state.
Nelson -- who goes by the name "Kimah" and hopes to one day have surgery to become a "full female" -- wore an orange dress and white leggings, his straight, brown hair falling to his shoulders.
The gullible clerk didn't seem to notice that both Nelson, 18, and Stenson, 21, have male first names.
They both had to present identification to obtain the license. Stenson used his state ID card, and Nelson gave a state Benefit Card, which he uses to collect food stamps. Now that the cat's out of the bag, I wonder what will happen with their whole marriage situation? I still don't understand why the gayest state in the country has yet to legalize same-sex marriage?
