Husband sues
after getting gay male spouse on Wife Swap
ABC says the contract warned the swapped spouse could be either male or female.
The New York Post reports that an Oklahoma man is suing ABC's Wife Swap after the show sent a gay man to live with him and his family. The show's premise has wives from very different households trading places, and Jeffrey Bedford is seeking $10 million in damages after the show put a gay man in his house; Bedford also alleges that the show's producers would not let him talk to his wife while the show was being taped. An ABC spokesman told a Muskogee, Okla., paper that the contract for the show specifies that the swapped spouse "could be either male or female. The show is meant to challenge a family's norms." Taped in October 2004, the episode has still not aired. (Advocate.com)
