And they said I was crazy

[Forever_frost]

When I said "What's next? If you have to legalize gay marriage, what's to stop people from marrying pets?" I point you to...Ms. White.

Cassandra White of Northern Indiana has petitioned her local government to allow her to marry her dog Brutus. White has sent several letters to gay rights activists to help her lead the march to stop discrimination against her and those like her who should get to “marry whomever they want”. Ms. White has made several unsuccessful attempts to get a marriage license after listing only “Brutus” in the section asking for FULL NAME OF PARTY B on marriage certificate form.

The form has been flagged 3 times after clerks questioned the single name of “Brutus”. Additional sections of the form were also left blank. For example, White was not able to list the name of PARTY B’s mother/parent or father/parent. Apparently Ms. White explained she could not provide the information due to the fact that she adopted her dog Brutus from a shelter which could not provide the parental information to her.

Indiana state and city officials have not returned phone calls or emails from AAP regarding the situation with Ms. White and her quest to marry her dog, Brutus.

Ms. White applauded President Obama for announcing that he is in support for gay marriage and quoted the president saying, “I was so happy to hear President Obama yesterday comment on gay marriage saying, “This is the kind of thing that prompts a change of perspective…” Ms. White is asking the state of Indiana to recognize what the president said and change their perspective on allowing her to marry Brutus.

White has also received support from ‘Freedom To Marry Our Pets Society” who plan to organize a protest in Washington to change definition of marriage to include pets

You give them an inch and they'll try to take a mile! It might be time to pack up and leave this sinking ship of a country.

I am willing to lay money down that the gay activists don't pitch in and understand her desire to just marry someone she loves.

Is that love reciprocated? Is a dog able to consent to marrying her? It's not the same. There are crazy people everywhere, and their behavior can't be used as a basis to argue against the sane behavior of others.

Exactly. It comes down to legal consent. Minors can't give legal consent. Neither can animals, couches or any other object you can name. So while it makes a great story to say that "this is the next thing" after gay marriage, it just ends up being a bunch of bullshit.

You know, out of all the arguments against gay marriage out there...this remains one of the weakest and most tired. I can't believe people still try to use it as an "intelligent" argument.


And Frost, you are crazy.

Why give them the bed while we sleep on the couch. Be a man and kick their asses off the bed.

Can you think of a creature that will love you more than a dog? You're talking unconditional love and a low maintance relationship. I'm all for if you're going to start fucking with the definition of marriage to open that bitch up to EVERYONE'S idea of marriage. Can't be bigoted now can we?

There are some cultures that disagree with you. Islam allows marriage as young as 6. Who are you to decide who they can't marry? Isn't that the thing traditionalists are being accused of? Being close minded?

Letting your dog lick the peanut butter off you isn't love.

There are good reasons why kids can't just get married now. There's not a good reason why two members of the same sex can't.

Again, that is your opinion. You start rewriting marriage definitions based on a group's political drive, then you have to be fair to everyone who wants to get married. I point you to polygamy. That's between consenting adults who love each other. You are for that, right? I know I am

N A double guh-err please.... Get that nonsensical bullshit outta here.

Letting your dog lick the peanut butter off you isn't love.

Thats true. However I would argue that licking the peanut butter off your dog might be.

nasty

Yeah, because basing your proof on islams belief and morale code is an excellent source..... You must be really grasping at straws (no pun) if you're siding with Islam to make a point.
