Idaho county clerk threatens to marry her dog after Supreme Court legalizes same-sex marriage

A county clerk in Sioux Falls, Idaho was overheard saying that she was so disgusted after the Supreme Court effectively legalized same-sex marriage that she was “just going to marry my dog.”

Ellee Spawn told KSFY that she was waiting in line at the Minnehaha County treasurer’s office when one of the clerks made the comment.

“I overheard a part of a conversation with a person in front of us and the clerk that was there, they were discussing the SCOTUS ruling from last week,” she explained.

“Her reaction to that was ‘well apparently I’m just going to marry my dog, because we can just marry whoever we want anymore,'” Spawn recalled. “It struck a cord; I thought that was wrong, you can’t compare bestiality with two consenting adults getting married — they’re not the same thing.”

But if she can get the dog to, I am all for it. Be kind of nice for the dog to get some health care benefits.

application, she's all set. Dogs are not people, though, and can't agree to such a legal document. They're dogs.

Get over it!

she works for the state, which says something right there about the family values there. Also, home of Senator Wide-Stance... makes sense that those who want to control the lives of everyone else would think that way.
