What Xenophobia? I Did Not Commit Biological Fraud
A few days after saying our I do’s, my own blood family publicly outed our marriage to the American Family Association, claiming that Nick and I were lesbians who committed “biological fraud” in order to force the legalization of same-sex marriage in Mississippi.
…
All I can hope, is that our kids and other kids won’t have to have labels such as being “gay”, “lesbians”, “bi-sexual “,”trans”, “black”,”white”, “fat”, “skinny”. That, hopefully, it won’t matter. That they will just be humans, because we all are humans at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. Everyone deserve happiness and deserves to be someone who makes them happy.
I know that I am lucky enough to have found this love in my life. I have never been the type of person to back down for what I believe is right and I strongly believe that our marriage is right. I will stand up for it and by it till the end of time.

I tried to find a definition for “biological fraud”. It seems to be a legal term:
One of the states that is impacted by SCOTUS’s action Oct. 6 is Kansas. In 2002, the Kansas Supreme Court in Estate of Gardiner ruled that, “The words ‘sex,’ ‘marriage,’ ‘male’ and ‘female’ in everyday understanding do not encompass transsexuals. The common, ordinary meaning of ‘persons of the opposite sex’ contemplates what is commonly understood to be a biological man and a biological woman. A post-operative male-to-female transsexual does not fit the common definition of a female.” The court ruled the marriage of J’Noel Ball and Marshall G. Gardiner in Oskaloosa, Kansas in September 1998 wasn’t a valid marriage because the court considered J’Noel male, and Kansas considered their marriage to be an impermissible same-sex marriage.
