DESPITE THE TEA PARTIES, TROUBLE BREWS IN BOSTON
Boston, MA,
May 21, 2004:
As we reported on the 17th (see our editorial
Happy Hooves Trot to be First in Line for Same Sex Marriage),
the law became official in Massachusetts on that date, setting the
stage for muttrimonial fulfillment for the previously
unacknowledged. At the stroke of midnight, multitudes of horses, ducks, pooches, pussycats and
everybody in search of same sex NIPtuals began lining up in front of
City Hall to receive the official blessings of the state.
However, a big fly is emerging in this ointment. Governor
Romney has announced that because of an arcane law of 1913, no
out-of-staters wanting same sex unions can legally be wed in
Massachusetts. He has instructed clerks not to register the bow vows
of anyone not currently residing in MA.
"I
am outraged!" Sarah Wolf exclaimed in an exclusive interview this
morning. "We drove all the way from California to have our
ceremony, and now this unfurred being is taking our happiness
away! We are definitely going to sue if he goes ahead!"
In
fact, a big class action suit is taking shape. Monty Rattler,
the Chief Snake at Rattler, Boa and Finch, is heading the legal
battle. "We're arming ourselves quickly, signing up all the
couples whose
NIPtuals have been reversed. This governor is
facing a huge fight!" Rattler announced in a press conference
held this morning.
We
will be keeping an eye out as this situation develops. For
now, at least those who are residents of the state can rejoice, and
we rejoice with them. Let the brave clerks who choose to serve
cake and flowers to the happy couples continue this heart-warming
practice. Let all who wish be allowed to affirm
their love in the eyes of the state, the universe, the gods and each
other!
