Today in class we learned the terms for being married мужем/женат and single замужем/холост and how the word used depends upon whether or not the person is male or female. I also noticed that the male word for married contains жена (wife). And that the female word for married & single contain муж (husband).

Now, I know that same-sex marriages are far from being legalized in Russia, but it is in other countries. Could one say он мужем to refer to a man who has a husband and она женат for a woman with a wife?

And since I'm gay myself, do I say я замужем to say that I'm single? And what does холост mean exactly?

Спасибо!

I know this is not a language question, but perhaps someone can help me. I have the name and address of someone in Kazan and I need to find their number. The international operator here gave me an incorrect number. Do you know of any websites that I can use to find the home phone number, or do you know of a number in Kazan that I could call through skype tospeak to an operator?

Could anyone tell me how to say second on the right/left. Take the second left.

Also if you are on a road and you want to say that something is after the traffic lights could you use за as in beyond the traffic lights?

Thanks
