It's not something you see every day, a horse in a wedding dress standing outside the federal courthouse.
"I thought it was laughable and I believe he was going for a ridiculous protest and he certainly got one," says Eddie Outlaw, LGBT advocate.
Reverend Edward James of Bertha Chapel Missionary Baptist Church dressed his horse, Charlotte, in a makeshift wedding dress to protest same-sex marriage.
"The horse is to show the ridiculous idea of two men getting married," says James.
James says after a federal decision was made in November to lift the ban on same-sex marriage in the state, he is hoping Judge Carlton Reeves will change his mind.
"I'm a Mississippian and I'm praying and hoping that we will remain a state that only recognizes marriage between a man and a woman," says James.

I have seen several pictures of sheriff Dave Clark on horseback and he looks like a very competent equestrian.
It would have been an even better point if he had used a donkey.
When asked if she approves marriage between two men, the horse said neigh.
The real reason he did this is to say that his wife has a face like a horse. ;)
What once was satire becomes closer to reality every day:

Psychopathia Sexualis,
I’m in love with a horse that comes from Dallas.
Poor neurotica, me.
When my family found out they raised the roof,
‘cause I bought a ring to fit her hoof...
SINA would approve.
Holy matrimony as opposed to unholy union.
"Each year, more than 3,000 riders saddle up and ride to Houston from all directions, including Louisiana and Mexico. The 12 trails come from all directions, including Mexico and Louisiana, to converge on Houston."
Yes, that is the Reverend Eddie James. He is a hero in my book of heroes. GOOD FOR HIM INDEED!
Was the horse “stump broke”?
I think pedophilia will be the next right before bestiality!
...doubt it... I think ephebophilia will trump anything else for the short term...the welfare of boys being in such low esteem today...
...a shame, really, for Jerry Sandusky, born a few years too early for the Grand Enlightenment, but...
Even when Evil is forced by the Federals, the Good seems more possible in the South.
No surprise. Men with little or no time in seminary or much education, period, but with a flair for showmanship, frequently declare themselves pastors and even “bishops” of independent churches in the Deep South, and this tendency is particularly common in the black clergy.
