2015: Man-on-man marriage 2017: Man-on-child marriage 2019: Man-on-dog marriage 2021: Man-on-car marriage 2023: Hopefully the world ends by then tbh
Two consenting adults, be they man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, or any other combination not specified by the above, are now granted the right (as they always should have had) to enter a legally binding contract and obtain all its attached benefits.
Children cannot give consent. Children cannot legally sign contracts. Children cannot get married.
Animals cannot give consent. Animals cannot legally sign contracts. Animals cannot get married.
Optimus Prime is a sentient being and leader of the entire Autobot race and I donât think you have any place telling him who his people can and cannot marry. If he is okay with Rewind and Chromedome or Astoria and Powerglide then you need to step off.
WELL SAID
Itâs very easy to make Gracieâs mistake here if you persist in thinking of marriage as âa man and his chosen marriage objectâ rather than, you know, âtwo people choosing to marry each other.â
Says something about how some people view heterosexual marriage.
DING DING DING DING DING we have a winner.
None of these people have ever expressed a worry that dogs will start wanting to marry men, or that houseplants will start wanting to marry cars.
This way of thinking only makes sense if your view of straight marriage depends on âman actively choosing, woman passively chosenâ and gay marriage only fits into your worldview as the distortion âman actively choosing wrong thing,â as though itâs a Sesame Street comedy sketch with Mr. Noodle trying to marry a pocket watch by mistake, presumably with his pants on his head.
Interestingly enough, Iâve never heard someone warn us about women wanting to marry anything, either.
thank you for that mental image. Â and yes, this is exactly right. Â iâve never seen any anti-marriage assholes talk about what theyâre afraid WOMEN will do.

This, holy shit, yes. Literally until now I never understood how people couldnât understand âcanât enter into a legally binding contractâ when it came to children, animals, whatever. And now itâs clear as fucking day. And even grosser than I realized.
You can always count on tumblr feminists to make homophobia about womenA
