Widow Dominque Lesbirel of the Netherlands is getting married again, after losing her husband to kidney failure.I'm fairly confident that the majority opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges could see their way clear to inter-species marriage. Why limit the love that endures even past death to people; isn't that bigoted?
She's getting hitched to her dog. Her first husband, Doerack, was a cat.
"Putting Doerack to sleep was horrible, I've had him since he was three, but I feel lucky to have had 16 lovely years with him," she said, according to Britain's Daily Mirror.
She plans to wed Travis, but wants to wait a while to get over her grief at losing Doerack.
“As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves.”
The Dutch led the way in gay marriage, they are now breaking new paths.
