Sneaky tricksters.Virginia won’t let The Gays get married, so this couple just walked into a courthouse and said “We would like to get married plz” and they got a marriage license and even got married, even though they were two dudes. (One of them had really nice skin, though!) And just like that, billions of straight marriages around America went kerplunk in an explosion of existential despair.

Actually, no, nobody even noticed that these two dudes had gotten married until one of them applied to have his name changed to Penelopsky Aaryonna Goldberry, possibly the most awesome name ever invented.

That’s when the ruse unravelled, and all these kindly public officials were like, “Oh whoops, the chick with the nice skin was actually an 18-year-old male named Justin.” So now this couple is not married after all, but we do hope Justin goes ahead with the name change.

Yeah, the same thing happened a few years ago when a white woman was almost allowed to marry a very light skinned negro in Virginia. Luckily the clerk grew suspicious due to certain verbal inflections on the part of the would-be groom, and when he looked into the matter further discovered that the man’s grandmother was a full blooded negress. Nedless to say the Virginia Authorities were called and they put a stop to that attempted miscegenation right then and there!

God bless America!

Just the awkwardness of the name — that deputy clerk that waited on them suspected something was amiss, or, actually, a mister,” Chief Deputy Clerk Gary Anderson said.

McCain, who court employees said appeared to be a woman, presented a Virginia driver’s license and filled out the section of the application labeled “bride.” Court employees commented on “what pretty skin” McCain had, a court official said.

It’s unclear whether McCain and Blount were trying to make a political statement or put one over on officials, or whether McCain is transgender.

Newport News officials apparently were not the first to mistake McCain for a woman.

I was talking about the American tendency toward over-consumption in general…not at all as it relates to any one subset in particular. and not even that is more than partially to blame for our current situation.

Then some germans decided to spice things up and take over Europe.

I have news for the right wing judgmentalists – limiting marriage to a man and woman does not make it sacred. Case in point, I (as a female) could marry Penelopsky Aaryonna Goldberry (Aka Justin McCain) tomorrow, even though I don’t even know him. What in the world would make our union sanctified?

This here limitation of marriage stuff ‘n’ nonsense is creating problems here in the Old Dominion. Penelopsky and his husband not really trail blazers. ’bout 10 years ago here in Alexandria, Virginia, Geo. Washington’s home town, “The Fun Side of the Potomac” ™, a couple got a license got married. They were both girl people, but only one knew that (or so the other claimed under oath and all). At some point, many days after Judge Colby joined them in state recognized union, the bride “discovered” that the putative groom had all the same equipment. She got herself an annulment right quick, and the Commonwealth’s Attorney made the executive decision we didn’t need any further proceedings. Would have embarrassed the judge, the clerk and the bride.

But it’s a true fact that my hetero marriage went down the tubes shortly after that. And I never wrote to thank those two.

Shortly after all that, the oldest deliberative legislature in the western hemisphere took steps to protect us by getting us not just a law, but a Constitutional Amendment, to protect us.
