Man ‘marries’ his laptop, sues for state recognition and a wedding cake

[Guest shiloh357]

Chris Sevier says that if same-sex couples are able to get married and demand that Christian bakers make them wedding cakes, then he should be allowed to marry his laptop and demand a cake to celebrate the union between one man and one machine.

The self-identified “machinist” says he married his laptop in a ceremony in New Mexico, and now he has sued to demand that a Colorado baker — who is already in court after refusing to bake for a same-sex marriage — must be compelled to make cakes for him and his computer “bride.” He also has filed a lawsuit demanding that Utah recognize his man-object marriage.

It’s the latest battlefront in an increasingly thorny area of law, after the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015 established a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.

While legal analysts said the case is a stretch, a judge in Utah has allowed part of that lawsuit to proceed, and analysts concede that Mr. Sevier’s claims get to the heart of how far the 2015 Obergefell ruling stretches when it comes to nontraditional unions.

“If marriage based on self-asserted sex-based identity narratives is a ‘fundamental right,’ ‘individual right,’ ‘existing right,’ based on a ‘personal choice’ for homosexuals, then clearly it is also a ‘fundamental right,’ ‘individual right,’ ‘existing right,’ based on a ‘personal choice’ for polygamists, zoophiles and machinists,” Mr. Sevier and several self-identified polygamists said in their lawsuit against Masterpiece Cakeshop, the Colorado baker they are challenging.

The line between satire and news becomes more blurred by the day.

I may not live to see it, but coming soon to a democrat near you will be the next push for an aggrieved victim's group demanding their rights . . . robots.

He must have had a fantastic imagination, but even he could not have foreseen where we'd be 50 years hence.

True, on this trajevtory, can you imagine the next 50 years if the Lord tarries?

Scary thought, that's true.  I remember my late uncle, who was a pastor, saying to me "if the Lord tarries much longer, He'll need to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah"  

And that was in 1980!

While I don't agree with his comment about the Lord apologizing (He's the Lord - He doesn't need to!), it does reflect quite a generational perspective.  I try to factor that in when I look at how things are now.

And one other thing - a lot of what we see in society is a result of excessive affluence.  People, relieved of the day to day struggle to simply survive, find worthless and silly things to occupy their time.

At some point (again, if the Lord tarries) our country will experience a true economic crash and people will focus their attention on more serious things.

This guy isn't just a nerd, LK.  He is pushing the envelope to legalize marriage between any two people, groups of people, objects or animals.  It's a very slimy and disgusting picture.  And, btw, people call me a nerd too!

Back then it was "out there" but today it is the norm
