A gay couple almost pulled a fast one on Virginia officials and nearly succeeded in getting around the state’s same-sex marriage ban.
Apparently, one of the men told clerks he was a woman.
According to the Washington Post: “The near-nuptials began when the couple arrived at Newport News Circuit Court on March 24 to apply for a marriage license. Justin McCain, who court employees said appeared to be a woman, presented a Virginia driver’s license and filled out the section of the application labeled “bride.” Court employees commented on “what pretty skin” McCain had, a court official said.
Finally, one deputy clerk “suspected something was amiss, or, actually, a mister,” Chief Deputy Clerk Gary Anderson said.
