Gay Marriage on 'Police Women of Memphis' (VIDEO)

Gay Marriage on 'Police Women of Memphis'Previously, when discussing 'Police Women of Memphis' (Thu., 9PM ET on TLC), we had made fun of Officer Virginia Awkward's somewhat unusual last name. (Yes, her last name is "Awkward." Feel free to insert your own jokes here.)

But now, on the latest episode, we learn that Virginia is planning to renew her wedding vows. Okay. Sounds like fairly standard reality TV show stuff. But as it turns out, Ms. Awkward is gay. Weird. And by "weird," we mean "cool." Maybe we haven't been paying close enough attention to the series thus far, but we did not know that about Officer Awkward! Probably our fault here.

Anyway, good stuff. Except for the unfortunate part. Since Tennessee has not yet legalized gay marriage, Virginia originally had to travel to Canada in order to marry her partner. But now, two years have passed, and she's renewing her vows in America. And all of Virgina's family and friends show up for the ceremony. It is all very moving. Still, we hope that one day, women like Virginia can get legally married in their own home state.

What do you think? Do you support Virginia's (second) wedding?
