I didn't take your conversation off track but was responding to Fergie's post which related to dealing with overpopulation in the UK. It's relevant since non-Muslim western Europeans have a much lower birthrate than Muslim Europeans.

But to get it back on track, in same-sex marriages a male is a husband and a female is a wife, so two males equals two husbands. I worked with a guy who was married to another guy and that's the label that they use. A related example is in the title of the book "Heather Has Two Mommies." Each female parent is a mother/mom and a male is a father/dad.
