When bigots argue against normalization of marriage for homosexual persons, they repeat the refrain "Marriage is between a man and a woman," quite possibly in full knowledge of how many closeted homosexual men have married women. Yet if you want to see something that makes an utter farce out of marriage, look at a prenuptial agreement. Nups draw up contracts for the eventuality of the marriage breaking, as though the union were a Sears washing machine.
Star reports that Katie Holmes' father Martin, a lawyer skeptical of Scientology, is on her side against Tom Cruise in the drafting of a pre-nup for this, a marriage between a man and a woman. Beard or no, Katie is going to be provided for, thanks to daddy. Martin is insisting that a document signed by Tom Cruise guarantee Katie mega-millions if the beard, er, Katie wants to shave herself off from the marriage before the five year milestone.
If two people are not so committed to each other that they feel they will do whatever it takes to make a marriage between them work, then instead of getting married, they should either dine Friday night at McDonald's, or purchase a bundle of six pairs of polyester socks at K-Mart. That would satisfy their desire for a cheap run at it, and spare them the heartache of going through a wedding, only to see the relationship treated in cheesy books on Barnes and Nobles' remainders rack. Nonetheless, the Bosh says "Genuinely stick it to 'em, Katie," because you can't be sure how genuine he's being when he sticks it to you. (By Scott Rose)
