the "s word", as we politely say when our 5-year-old is around. Not all men who marry for money are gay. If that was true, Maxim magazine would not have had an article telling its male audience how to marry for money. Larry Fortensky met Liz Taylor in a rehab center and later married her - Fortensky no doubt had problems, but being gay wasn't one of them. And let's not forget that a man who is married to one of the world's richest women was darn near elected President in 2004. People may have fallen for what the Swift Boat guys said about Kerry, but I don't think that anyone believes he is gay. (Tho "Best Week Ever" on VH1 had a funny clip about how friendly he was with his running mate.)
I don't condemn anyone for marrying for money, tho I can't imagine myself doing that. It may be tacky, but if others wish to be that way, it's their problem, not mine.
