Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace

OK, I'll speak.

Might we expect to hear anything like this in coming marriage ceremonies?

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the presence of God and in the face of these witnesses, to join together this Man and this Man, uh, sorry, this Woman and this Woman, oops, this Man and these Women, ah, this Man and his Daughter, um, this Brother and this Sister, oh, this Man and this Goat, (that about cover it?) in the holy estate of Matrimony."

With a harebrained application of the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, two attorneys have argued and one judge has ruled that one cannot make a principled case against any or all of these possibilities.

All right, all right. "...all MEN are created equal" The goats are out. They'll have to pursue their own damn happiness.
