With gay marriage being legal in all fifty states, I want a ruling by the supreme court that I can marry my lamp. What about you?

There were plenty of stupid extrapolations in the discussions about gay marriage over the past couple decades.
I want to marry my mom! (Oedipus !)
I want to marry my self! ( some joint-return tax advantage being the biggest real deal there)
I want to marry all of my teammates !
and… well what about that polygamy thing that we outlawed way back when. (why just one?)
I want to marry my corporate person Acme enterprises ! (if we constrain to Supreme-Court-style persons)
I want to marry my cat/dog/gerbil !
I want to marry my lawn !
I want to marry my cannabis plant !

Where some of these fall apart clearly is one of the parties’ inability to consent.
Where consent is possible, I’d say you can write a contract that will fulfill most of the practical aspects you might theoretically get out of a marriage.

I want to be a bride of Christ.

I can already see it:
Since corporations are people now, they will at some point be granted the right to marry each other, to form ultimate monopolies and circumvent any anti-trust legislations

Knock yourself out and rush your “radiant” soon to be bride to the altar before congress can prohibit it. I’m sure there will be plenty of “electricity” involved in your “illuminating” ceremony.

@ragingloli isn’t one of the more substantial parts of marriage a combined legal entity?
Not sure they can have it both ways… er, I take that back, they have bought the right to have it all the ways they like.

I have a goat I fancy. Could she count?

@Adirondackwannabe
It already happens in games

The stupidest of all was Scalia’s dissenting opinion. Read it. The man must be senile.

I’m with @Pachy on this one.

On a side note I would like to take a moment to express my extreme disappointment in losing a metric shit ton of lurve, from here on out, for championing marriage equality on this site since today’s ruling.

With his recent written decisions, Scalia is working hard to remembered as a sneering, spiteful, resentful loser.

~ I saw that lamp first. .. she’s mine!~ As long as you aren’t hurting anyone than you can believe anything you like.

First, I think we should let the lamp shed some light on the subject.

This meme.

Surprised I haven’t seen this yet.

Well, I’m Canadian, so naturally this one’s my favourite. The punchline being that gay marriage has been legal in Canada for the past ten years.

I want to marry Mickey Mouse!

I want to marry Jessica Rabbit.

@dappled_leaves Hands down, that was my favorite one today. I’m not even Canadian.

Well, I’m Canadian, so naturally this one’s my favourite.

Oh my

I think Scalia has an untreated VD.

I think it was Justice Alito who alluded to the idea that gays getting married was no different than brothers and sisters who have lived together and shared incomes and household expenses for 25 years plus. Really??? He suggested that if gay people were allowed to marry, then other people would expect to be able to marry their siblings. I don’t know anyone who would want to marry their sibling.

I want to marry my dead cats ashes

“Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!”

Oh I’ve been seeing that way before marriage equality was legalised in either of our nations (United States and Ireland).

Along with “they’ll be forcing all the churches to shut down now, after they refuse to perform a gay marriage”. Some people really need to sort out their persecution complexes. Nobody wants to take their churches away sigh.
