A strange marriage ?

A controversial wedding took place at Kings Lynn registry office last Saturday. The trend across the world for intermarriage between species started by an Israeli woman who married a dolphin, has meant love has spread its wings several times since then mainly in America. The laws preventing racism have been applied across the species barrier, which means interspecies marriage is not only completely legal, but fashionable. Postal manager Mick Thompson wed his sweetheart Sharon the sheep. Although marriages to non females are becoming quite common, this was believed to be Britain’s first man sheep marriage, although man sheep love affairs are said to be common in Norfolk. Despite a court injunction by Britain’s RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ) the long term lovers went ahead with the wedding, and are honeymooning at an anonymous Norfolk farmhouse.

Several hecklers turned out, but did not spoil the brides special day. The groom said to reporters, “if Elton john can marry another man, why cant I marry a sheep “ ? The brides costume and veil was made and fitted by Emily costumes Ltd. Discussions are in progress to make a film of the love affair by Ang Lee the, Director of Brokeback mountain.[!gad]A controversial wedding took place at Kings Lynn registry office last Saturday.

Not really -- here in Minnesota we're having a raging debate over a proposal to ban gay marriage by amending the state's constition. Just about every day in our newspapers, some law maker, preacher or activist is loudly proclaiming: "If you allow gays to get married, what's to prevent polygamy next, and then animal sex ... and so on." Warnings about beastiality are being brought up again and again by the religious right. It's become one of their primary scare tactics for banning gay marriage. Woah, really?

And what the hell is wrong with interspecies marriges? Preventing a marrige like this would be like saying a Black man can't marry a White woman. And interracial marriage is perfectly alright so what is the difference between interspecies? It's sounds like all of you are prejudice to the idea of this ever happening. Even if it is a joke, what would be the problem with it?
