May 17, 2007 Quickie Link: Marriage Causes Shift in Gay Culture -- By Tovia Smith
By vanrozenheim

(USA) - Three years after gay marriage become legal in Massachusetts, gays and lesbians, who have come to think of themselves as counter-cultural and unconventional, are now being seen as part of the mainstream. What happens to "gay identity" when you're getting married, dealing with a mortgage, kids, picket fences and pressure to "settle down" just like everyone else?
