Man ‘marries’ his laptop, sues for state recognition and a wedding cake
Washington Times ^ | 30 July 2017 | By Alex Swoyer

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,”...

That’s going to be a hard drive any way you look at it.

Great idea to illustrate the absurdity of same sex marriage, but why sue that same Christian Cakemaker? Doesn’t he already have enough problems? Better to find a gay or trans cakemaker, and serve them a big slice of the same recipe.
Let THEM eat cake!

Actuslly, that’s an interesting question. Normally, police can get a warrant and look at someone’s laptop, but if they allowed this, would there be spousal privilege?

Best bafflegab of the day: “It is also a ‘fundamental right,’ ‘individual right,’ ‘existing right,’ based on a ‘personal choice’ for polygamists, zoophiles and machinists.”
