That could be awkward
From the BBC:
The government unit dealing with forced marriages received 65% more calls about male victims last year than the previous year, figures show. In 2009 it received more than 220 emails and calls to its help line about male victims, up from 134 in 2008. Many male victims were forced into marriage because their families know or suspect they are gay...
Crikey. I don't like the idea of forced marriage one bit, but imagine you were forced to marry another man because your parents wrongly suspect you are gay...
