Human-Robot weddings ahead for N.C.?

If you think all the anti-gay activists moved to California to fight gay marriage there, think again.
This week, the General Assembly in Raleigh began considering a bill that would outlaw gay marriage in North Carolina (as if gay marriage were legal here now). If nothing else, the debate is proving that our state can produce just as many twisted gay-haters as anyone.
Take attorney David Gibbs III, for instance. A Duke Law School grad and head of the Christian Law Association, Gibbs was one of the lawyers who fought to keep poor, brain-dead Terri Schiavo plugged in. On Tuesday in Raleigh, Gibbs told an anti-gay-marriage rally that allowing gay marriage “would open the door to unusual marriage in North Carolina. Why not polygamy? Maybe people will want to marry their pets or robots.”
Now, I’m crazy about my basset hound, but marriage? Out of the question. Robots, though, hmmm … I wonder if Gibbs has seen the humanoid cylons on Battlestar Galactica? He might change his mind — if he had one that was capable of changing.
