I don't like this at all.
Hakim Nelson (right) and Jason Stenson married were maried in New York on May 26th after fooling clerks into thinking Hakim aka Kimah who was dressed in an orange dress, white leggings and straight brown hair falling to his shoulders was a female. According to the NY Post:
The gullible clerk didn’t seem to notice that both Nelson, 18, and Stenson, 21, have male first names.They both had to present identification to obtain the license. Stenson used his state ID card, and Nelson gave a state Benefit Card, which he uses to collect food stamps.
By a fluke, Nelson’s ID card has an “F” for female on it, because the official who issued it in April assumed from his appearance that he was a woman. But Nelson couldn’t believe the license clerk didn’t ask for better identification.
The clerk didn't. Instead she asked questions about the couple's jobs and addresses -- which they listed as Sylvia's Place, a city shelter for gay, lesbian and transgender youth -- but nothing about their gender.
Ten days after obtaining their license, the wedding crashers returned to the office for the ceremony. They were clutching their license and a pair of $10 silver wedding rings they had bought in the West Village. Nelson was in the same orange dress.
“I was scared. I thought they would ask for more paperwork from me because I have a male name,” Nelson said. [Full Story Here]
An orange wedding dress. Really?
