Is this still a thing?
Yes, it's a serious question. As I added to the page when I sorted the examples, same-sex marriage has been legal since 2003 here. Nobody makes a fuss on Degrassi about someone bringing a same-sex date to the prom because, as far as most of us in the big cities are concerned, there's nothing to make a fuss over. I seek to understand whether this is still an issue elsewhere in the English-speaking world.
I can't speak for the civilized countries, but it's still very much an issue here in Unistat. (We got the god-botherers, Australia got the criminals, and it's too late for us to request a trade.) Further discussion would probably have to go to Politics.
