So I'm in the car, waiting for alternate side to be over, and listening to NPR BBC News. They were discussing Prop 8 in CA, and they actually had someone saying 'If they let same sex couples get married, soon people will want to marry their dogs!'
I mean seriously. WTF. I've heard that some people have made that argument, but I never actually heard the words leave someone's mouth.
But, even if people DID end up wanting to marry their dogs, considering the average length of marriage is equal or less than the average life span of a dog, there would probably be less divorce. Oh, but then I wonder if divorce laws would need revising, so instead of irreconcilable differences, you could divorce on the grounds that your spouse keeps peeing on the carpet.
Ok, this post was becoming a rant. I deleted the rest of it. Needless to say, I'm pro-marriage. If it's your thing, that is. Regardless of sex or gender.
