The Application for a Marriage License in the State of MN has this statement at the bottom... |
|
Right above where the Groom and Bride sign, it states:
"...and one of the applicants is a man and the other is a woman."
Apparently, the fundies have had some influence upon this...

9. I applied for a marriage license in MN twice - once in 1987 and once in 1997. |
|
I don't remember if that wording was on it or not.

Does anyone know of cases where transgenders have been prevented from getting married to a member of their original (not assigned) sex?
What is the fundie position about this? Would such a marriage be legal in states that prohibit same-sex marriage?

this is the second time you've avoided my direct questioning of how old you are...
:)
1997 was when I did the actual getting married thing.
It was a whim.

You'd have been a little young to marry me in 1987. :D

19. Men are the "one," women are the "other." |
|
Don't tell me sexism isn't thriving in this country.

24. It does clearly show that they offically consider the default for a person |
|
to be male, and women to be something other and different. :(
That really tells you something about how ingrained sexism is that their official language shows it so casually.

21. It has to be signed in person |
|
in front of the Notary, so I think it would be pretty obvious.

22. well, if you had two slightly androgynous folks |
|
Edited on Mon May-11-09 10:37 PM by Muttocracy
e.g., girl with short hair, boy with long hair, androgynous clothes, etc.
Would they do a strip search?
