The Application for a Marriage License in the State of MN has this statement at the bottom...

[Pierre.Suave]

Right above where the Groom and Bride sign, it states:

"...and one of the applicants is a man and the other is a woman."

Apparently, the fundies have had some influence upon this...

[HopeHoops]

1. What about goats?

I thought MN allowed goats!

[Pierre.Suave]

2. Fundies like goats

they are not worried about someone wanting to marry a goat, apparently...

[KamaAina]

3. Goats are awesome

but I have to draw the line at box turtles. :sarcasm:

[Pierre.Suave]

4. Good luck consummating THAT marriage...

:rofl:

:hide:

[DarkTirade]

5. Better a box turtle than a snapping turtle.

:scared:

[Pierre.Suave]

6. IBTL...

Dood, hit it from BEHIND... Everyone knows that...

:rofl:

:hide:

[Wapsie B]

7. I thought they were into beastiality and scat.

[DarkTirade]

8. Ewww, gross.

Choose one or the other. Not both! :P

9. I applied for a marriage license in MN twice - once in 1987 and once in 1997.

I don't remember if that wording was on it or not.

[Pierre.Suave]

10. and sadly

neither of those times you were marrying me...

:(

[targetpractice]

11. Serious question...

Does anyone know of cases where transgenders have been prevented from getting married to a member of their original (not assigned) sex?

What is the fundie position about this? Would such a marriage be legal in states that prohibit same-sex marriage?

[Pierre.Suave]

12. Absolutely no idea

but I guess the fundies would be against it.

[Left Is Write]

13. Well...I only got married one of those times.

(Besides, how old were you in 1987?)

[Pierre.Suave]

14. uhmmm

What about 1997?

:P

[Left Is Write]

15. Hmmmm....

this is the second time you've avoided my direct questioning of how old you are...

:)

1997 was when I did the actual getting married thing.

It was a whim.

[Pierre.Suave]

16. I am 33

years old, and in my prime...:evilgrin:

[Left Is Write]

17. So, yeah...

You'd have been a little young to marry me in 1987. :D

[Pierre.Suave]

18. Even in 1987

I was capable of appreciating beauty and intelligence...

[targetpractice]

23. ???

I was 22 in 1987.

[jobycom]

19. Men are the "one," women are the "other."

Don't tell me sexism isn't thriving in this country.

[ThomCat]

24. It does clearly show that they offically consider the default for a person

to be male, and women to be something other and different. :(

That really tells you something about how ingrained sexism is that their official language shows it so casually.

[Muttocracy]

20. but do they check?

:shrug:

[Pierre.Suave]

21. It has to be signed in person

in front of the Notary, so I think it would be pretty obvious.

[Muttocracy]

22. well, if you had two slightly androgynous folks

e.g., girl with short hair, boy with long hair, androgynous clothes, etc.

Would they do a strip search?
