Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to see if anyone shows up to marry Brian Feldman. The Orlando performance artist is inviting any woman—as long

I love this statement. To me it is the ultimate protest: peaceful, yet powerful. Brian Feldman is one of the people making life in Orlando more interesting. We're lucky to have him...especially as a straight ally to our community.

I actually wanted to do this exact same thing a few years ago. I had the idea of getting two perfect strangers, one man, one woman and having them get the license to marry, which of course would be granted. At that point, the press being present of course is when I would announce that they have just granted a license to two people who had just met minutes before, yet would not grant a license to a gay couple who'd been in a committed relationship for decades, so they could see the idiocy of this law. I think it's a statement. The couple doesn't actually need to wed, the statement is made when the license is granted.

Peace,
Pattie

Ok why should a same sex marriage matter. If you don't live with them, why would you care.

"Ok why should a same sex marriage matter. If you don't live with them, why would you care"

b2stephblue, I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. Would you care to clarify what relevance your statement has to this story?
