Marriage Quickie

This story, via ThinkProgress, was good for a laugh. Jennifer Thieme, of NOM:

I believe that, in spite of the intentions of its advocates, the policy of gender-neutral marriage policy (commonly known as gay marriage) will come to treat mothers like slaves and children like chattel.

Actually, as I recall, that's traditional Biblical marriage -- you know, the kind where, if you wanted to get married, you went to a respectable man in the village and bought one (or two) of his daughters. The kind where you could sell your daughters into slavery.
