Now that gay and lesbian couples have the legal right to marry in the U.S., some same-sex couples are waiting for the wedding night before they have sex, which is very rare for the majority of Americans.

A recent article in The Atlantic reported how hard it is for gay people with deep religious beliefs and affiliations to remain virgins until they marry. It was a topic that didn’t really exist before the marriage equality movement gained steam.

The Atlantic interviewed Julie Kerr, the daughter of a Baptist minister. She grew up as a Christian who wanted to wait until marriage to have sex. When she was a teen, she realized the person she imagined she’d wait for was a woman.

Kerr, a 33-year-old barista from Oakland, Calif., told The Atlantic, “It’s mainly through [my faith] that I felt a calling to wait until marriage, or waiting until I meet the love of my life. For me, the love of my life is definitely going to be a woman.”

Now that it's legal, will some of you do this?

I could never have the self-control for this

I actually don't know what to say so I'll just be quiet

Aww that's nice.

No, even if this was possible.

I can't wait long

Stoopid

Lesbians have so much more control than gays.

It's cool they're strong in faith arty:

Y'all are so rude.
If anyone said anything rude about gays that differ from your opinions, you'd attack them but yet you can't respect someone's decision to wait until marriage.

Good for them, i guess.

.

Doing the same!

Wondering where the logic is, but if that makes them happy.

What's the logic of doing it with someone you don't feel anything for?
