Marriage
I was curious on this and now am feeling quite stupid, so I don't know if this should even be changed but here me out. This phrase: "She came out as gay in her 20s and married a woman; they had a child then divorced." This made me think, "hmm, there were no states in which gay marriage was legal back in the 70s." I even did research on Baker v. Nelson, since this was a Minnesota case in the 70s maybe she was married after that - but it actually affirmed a state's right to restrict marriage only to heterosexual couples. Then I realized - she had come out as a gay man, and did not yet identify as a straight woman. Well how do you like that! Looking at MOS:GENDERID, we should try to "avoid phrases that seem logically impossible or distracting." I think this may qualify. <> Alt lys er svunnet hen (talk) 21:24, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
