Fox News - According to the Ottawa Sun, Bill Dalrymple, 56, and best friend Bryan Pinn, 65, have decided to take the plunge and try out Canada's new same-sex marriage legislation with a twist — they're straight men.

"I think it's a hoot," Pinn said.

The proposal came last Monday at a Toronto bar amid shock and laughter from their friends. But the two — both of whom were previously married and both of whom are looking for a good woman to love — insist that after the humor subsided, a real issue lies at the heart of it all.

"There are significant tax implications that we don't think the government has thought through," Pinn said.

Dalrymple has been to see a lawyer already, and there are no laws in marriage that define sexual preference.

They want to shed light on the widespread financial implications of the new legislation and are willing to take it all the way.

There are obvious tax benefits to marriage, they said, but they insisted they don't want their nuptials to insult gays and lesbians.

"I disagree with the government getting involved with what people should and shouldn't do," Dalrymple said. "Stay out of the bedrooms."

Words of warning came from Toronto lawyer Bruce Walker, a gay and lesbian rights activist.

"Generally speaking, marriage should be for love," he said. "People who don't marry for love will find themselves in trouble."

Walker isn't personally insulted by the planned Pinn-Dalrymple union because he believes in personal freedoms and rights.

"If someone wants to do something foolish, let them do it," he said.

As for wedding plans, Pinn and Dalrymple haven't set a date.

Wow

Honestly, I was surpised by this but at the same time, I was not. I was surprised because it caught me off guard; however, I wasn't suprised becuase when all the gay marriage talk was going on here, I continually pointed out that it would only be a matter of time before people like this abused the system.

On a positive note, at least it's in Canada and not in the good ole US of A....At least for now...


(By the way, forgive me for any mistakes I may have made, as this is my first post) ; )
