The first refers to Stephen Baldwin and his views of "gay marriage" or civil partnerships.
There is an interview here: (this subject is raised towards the end):

The second is about gay people who enter into a "straight" marriage.
I have known people do this - and, sadly, I have seen some distressing outcomes.
Some people (misguidedly) believe it can be a `cure` for their homosexuality. I, for one, do not believe homosexuality can be `cured` nor do I think it should be, even if it were possible.
I can understand why some people may think marriage will result in their gayness becoming a thing of the past. I can also understand people feeling under pressure to marry (from family, friends, peers.)
But entering into marriage because they feel their homosexuality is a difficulty for them, is in my view usually a very bad move and should never be taken lightly.
I have seen enormous sadness caused by a gay person entering into a straight marriage.
