I clicked on a link on the Yahoo! main page about the death of an heiress because I did not know who she was. Apparently she died recently, at just 30 years old. What bothered me about the article is this:
In recent months, Ms. Johnson had been romantically linked and “engaged” to reality-TV star Tila Tequila.
Can you tell what bothered me? The quotes around the word ‘engaged.’ I guess people can only be engaged if they are an opposite-sex couple. I guess that all of my gay “married” friends aren’t married like I am. Now, I could be reading more into it than I should, given that the only thing I know about Tila Tequila is that she had a reality show on MTV (?) about finding love (I think?). There is the possibility that they weren’t actually engaged, but I doubt that’s the reason for the quotes.
