Hey, what's up?
This is da'Shade ... sitting in for Kennedy James.
After all this Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex marriage debate that's been going on for some time now, I'm wondering when other forms of sexual behaviour will get their day.
Like zoophilia, better known as beastiality.
Well, the bad news for folks who might want to offer their favourite goat or cow a diamond ring is that human-animal marriage is not recognized in law by any country.
Now, this is not to say that some people haven't tried. Check it out:
- In January 2004, a woman known as "The Mad Cat Lady" married both her tabby twin boys Lugosi and Spider via MarryYourPet.com, from whom she then received an (unofficial) certificate of marriage.
- In January 2006, British woman Sharon Tendler in Israel married Cindy, a male bottlenose dolphin.
- In February 2006 a Sudanese man named Charles Tombe caught having sex with a neighbour's goat which was subsequently nicknamed Rose, was ordered by the council of elders to pay the neighbour a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($75) and marry the animal.
- In June 2010, 18-year-old Indonesian man, Ngurah Alit, was forced to marry his cow after he was found having sex with it. The man had believed the cow to be a beautiful woman. He then became a widower when the cow was drowned in the sea to symbolically cleanse the village of the act of bestiality committed there.
- On November 30, 2010 an Australian man, Joseph Guiso, married his best friend, a five-year-old Labrador.
- In June 2013, fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld announced that he wished to marry his cat Choupette. He said in an interview with CNN, "There is no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals… I never thought that I would fall in love like this with a cat."

All I can say is to such folks is, hell, don't give up hope.
If ya told me 10 years ago that gay guys would be getting married and given the legal right to adopt kids, I woulda laughed in yer face. Now, I still laugh, but it's a sad laugh.
Hit that mic and give us a "woof" ...
