WWE gay wedding aftermath
The much-hyped World Wrestling Entertainment gay wedding between Billy and Chuck didn't happen last week. Before the on-air ceremony reached its conclusion, Billy and Chuck called off the wedding, declared that they were actually straight and that the whole thing was a publicity stunt concocted by their manager (all within the show's scripted, fictional storyline). Outsports has two angry pieces on the whole affair, one by columnist John McClelland and one by Scott Seomin of GLAAD. Seomin had played along with the gay wedding storyline and gave Billy and Chuck a wedding gift (a gravy boat from Pottery Barn), but now writes, "The WWE lied to us two months ago when they promised that Billy & Chuck would come out and wed on the air. In fact, I was told (lied to) the day after the show was taped in Minneapolis that the wedding took place and all was well."
