Joy Behar: Spousal Equivalent Is So 2010

Equality advocate Joy Behar says she married Steve Janowitz because "Now that gay marriage is legal in New York, 'spousal equivalents' is so 2010."

Behar, an outspoken LGBT ally both on her eponymous show on HLN and as a cohost of ABC's The View, took some good-natured ribbing from the talk show's other hosts, such as Whoopi Goldberg, about tying the knot with her boyfriend of 29 years. She then read a list to clear up any confusion about her decision.

Here are Behar's Top 10 reasons she decided to finally get married,

10. Steve tired of holding his stomach in every time he gets undressed.
