Remember the infuriating story about Madelynn Lee Taylor, the Navy veteran who wanted to reserve a spot in the Idaho Veterans Cemetery for her ashes, to be interred with the ashes of her late wife, Jean Mixner? The two had been together since 1995, and were legally married in California in 2008. Except Idaho wouldn't let Taylor reserve a niche in its "columbarium" for both herself and Mixner, who died in 2012, because Idaho didn't do marriage equality, and didn't recognize same-sex marriages from other states, either. Not even if the gay people were dead. How's that for protecting the sanctity of marriage?
This abomination opens up a slippery slope. First you allow gays to be buried with gays and then what is to stop a man from being buried with a dog, or a dog with a cat, or a cat with a mouse. The permutations are endless. It is the end times I tell you. End the madness!
Well this makes the deaths of everyone else in that cemetery meaningless.
Dok, as a snarky blogger, how long do you have to wait for the opportunity to use the terrific and apropos expression "ash holes"?
It could turn them all gay.
So in Idaho, it's now okay to be gay if you're dead. Well, at least it's a start ....
Clearly this is a threat to the traditional, heterosexual tomb-sharing of dead Christians. Where's the outrage?
Not exactly a "start": a lot of people in Idaho have long had that attitude.
"My ashes were born this way."
Stand Your Eternity.
