Pro wrestling show features gay tag team champions
The weekly pro-wrestling show Smackdown has recently featured a plot line involving gay tag team champions Billy and Chuck. "It was a whirlwind engagement: In front of God and everybody last week in an arena in Green Bay, Wis., Chuck got down on one knee, pulled a diamond ring from his tights and popped the question. Billy wept with joy, and accepted. Two and a half millennia after the Greeks first grappled with the curious homoerotic aura of wrestling, Billy and Chuck have spent the current WWE season overtly flirting with one another -- delighting the audience and taunting their opponents with their blooming togetherness." They plan to get married in the ring in the episode airing Thursday night. (This great article by Hank Stuever contains detailed spoilers for tonight's episode, so Smackdown fans may want to wait and read it tomorrow.) More and more. And the WWE website offers you a cordial invitation to the ceremony.
