    Version two is the correct use. I take my cue from Human Rights Watch, an advocacy organization on LGBT issues. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever heard any of my lesbian friends refer to themselves as gay. Massachusetts also makes a distinction in keeping statistics. The state recently reported that 70 percent of the same-sex marriages performed there are with lesbians. It will be interesting to see if the same holds true for California, or will the fact that California allows out-of-state couples to marry change the dynamic.

    well, gay marriages are experimental (version 2) while same sex marriages are legalized (version 1).

    maybe it’s a subconscious reference to the belief among some people that being gay is a choice and some people are just experimenting with a lifestyle.

    i know many lesbians who refer to themselves as gay.
