Dear Advice Fairy:
Like any good gay worth his weight in Madonna albums, I attended the Prop 8 protest rally on Saturday with two missions: to defend my rights and to find a husband. While I defended my rights nobly while having my picture taken by dozens of cute young dudes (I'm proud to say I posed for more than 50 strangers' cameras... .not unlike a drag queen at a gay bar), I did not meet my future gay husband.
At least not yet. You see, I came across a Craiglist "missed connections" ad today addressed to the "guy up in front who needed someone to marry." While he wasn't referring to me (although I'm confident I was not the only one who went to the rally hoping to find a husband or at the very least a quick post-protest bang), I am seriously considering pretending that I was. Even though I'm not the gay in question, is it wrong of me to steal someone else's protest husband?

Dear Husbandless,
Let's break down the situation. The positive: You were at the same location as the writer. The negative: The person this man is searching for is not you.
But -- here's something we haven't yet considered: Maybe the person who posted the ad didn't actually see someone being interviewed by a film crew. Or, perhaps he saw someone being interviewed but wasn't interviewed himself. Sounds weird, right? Not really. Perhaps this person, just like yourself, wanted to meet someone of substance at the rally, but it just didn't happen. So there is a chance that when you come clean he will immediately feel a connection with you because both of you crave something magical.
And don't worry about stealing someone else's potential soul mate. If it is meant to be; it is meant to be. Even Craigslist can't fuc wit dat.
