Fine. Show me the state codes that allow animals to sign contracts.

We're talking about redefining marriage. We make it whatever we want.

Of course we can, it's a contract isn't it?...being a contract we

As long as both parties can legally sign the certificate, or make a

Gays are free to marry in every state now.
