Conservative group argues California ballot measure would legalize marriages to plants, holograms

Proposition 3 on the November ballot would remove a now-unenforceable ban on same-sex marriage from the state Constitution, and declare marriage to be a “fundamental right” in California. What that means, claims a leading opponent of Prop 3, is that the state could also allow polygamy and child marriage.

As well as marriages between humans and plants, or animals. Or robots.

“Proposition 3 could legitimize nearly any marriage configuration imaginable,” attorney Dean Broyles, president of the National Center for Law & Policy, a conservative Christian nonprofit, declared in an online letter to “Dear Citizens of California” on Sept. 12.

Among the examples he listed were “group marriages” with multiple spouses, unions between children and adults or other children, and marriages between humans and machines — including “holograms or AI,” animals, or “objects, including plants.” Or even a marriage with oneself.

I've had my eye on a rhododendron.
Just think, I'll be able to propose!

What in the hell is wrong with Republicans?
