She understands both English and Spanish.

Harrier's cat is bilingual.

If the cat doesn't say yes, it is rape. Don't forget that Harrier, we don't want you getting in trouble.

Wait!

Do you mean that Harrier and his cat should just consider ourselves married without state recognition?

Do you feel the same way about gay people who wish to "marry"?

Actually, that is a very good idea.

Government should get entirely out of the marriage business.

There can be contracts of commitment, enforceable by the courts.

Anyone can call themselves married, but the word itself would have no legal meaning.

Do you support this common sense proposal?

Why does speech have to matter?

Would you ban mute people from marrying?

I thought that until it became clear to me that the word "marriage" is important, even to gay people.

Beyond that, you seem to be splitting hairs. Under your proposal is the government involved or not?

Well if your cat can speak Spanish to you, then I guess you can marry your cat and consummate the marriage.

The deaf have a language they can speak.

Only the court system would be involved to settle contract disputes.

No its not. Its that true heterosexuals are just not going to subject themselves to being called hateful because they voice their opinions about homosexuals.

If you must use the No True Scotsman fallacy, couldn't you at least try to, y'know, hide it a little? That there is just sloppy.

So how is that different than what we have right now? The word?
