.... a dog

.... a bicycle

..... a toddler

And in those states where you can marry someone under 18.... if THAT's OK, then it's even more embarrassing.


Indeed. In all the states and countries that have had gay marriage for some time now.... please point out where all the Christian fear mongering has come to pass. Prove the "sanctity" of any existing marriage has been ruined.

...I think they know the assertion that people can now marry lawnmowers is absurd, but their point is really to make gay marriage seem invalid and not as "real" as a heterosexual marriage. The good news is that they're pretty much preaching to the choir at this point. Ten years back they could scare fairly rational folk into thinking that gay marriage would mean all kinds of crazy things. Now they only re-convince those who already believe it. Not so much those who are fairly rational.

Good take-down of a nitwit, using his own language. Reporter and county clerk both fabulous. Props to county clerks everywhere, who see a lot more of actual reality than most of us imagine and stay professional. Thank you.
