Tonight, I made someone's heart leap a little when I clicked an ad on the Slag Heap blog page.  I wanted to check out the "Pgh Grassroots" website so I could be in on the latest events and happenings.  A little ad-click revenue for the City Paper.  Eh.

Then I had to register which is where my poor little alt-weekly paper lovin' heart sank.  Right as I got to "marital status" ... can you see where I'm going with this?

Single - nope

Married - nope

Divorced - nope

Widowed - nope

Engaged - nope

Separated - nope

Annulled - nope

Cohabitating - say what?

They have a category for annulled, but not domestic partnerships or civil unions?  The paper that carries Dan Savage?  The only paper in town with an LGBT beat? 

I think they need to add ...

Common-law marriage

Living in sin

"Roommates" with heavy emphasis on the wink-wink, nudge-nudge

Unable to commit

Serial monogamist

Pre-engaged

Engaged to be engaged

Any other suggestions?
