The inevitable ...

[Nina Olkova]

My Russian gay friend says "vyiti zamuzh" in his own case.
Knowing that most relationships regardless of gender have a
leading partner and a submissive partner, one that is
submissive in gay relationship usually accepts the bridal
role and "vyhodit zamuzh" while his other half: zhenitsya.

Sincerely,

Nina Olkova
