It's already here

Reading Newsweek yesterday, and in a sidebar to piece about "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," the interviewer at one point asked:

My husband really needs a makeover. Would you take him even though he's gay?

This would have seemed odd to me under normal circumstances, but with the current brouhaha over gay marriage it struck me even harder. There's no indication who the interviewer is, but I have to assume that the reference is to a gay couple. Aside from it being an amusing exchange, I wonder if this is in some small way a shot in the "culture wars" going on over the whole thing.
