Summary

"No sex before the game!" Is this bit of conventional wisdom wise?    A gay man wonders if his date being specifically NOT invited to a family wedding is in any way bigoted.    A man and woman are married only in the legal sense.

How do they roll out the nature of their odd relationship to potential lovers?    And more, more, more. 206-201-2720   Today's episode is brought to you by .
