On this week's strange episode of Defining Marriage, we respond to listener feedback regarding horses in itsy bitsy teeny weeny outfits. The parade of animals continues with Oscar Wilde quotes about women and chickens; and then we travel to Kentucky for an oddly homophobic ham breakfast.

On last week's episode, we all had a good laugh about how NOM called their own fundraising "pathetic." But this week they sent out yet another money-beg, this time reminding supporters that they need some cold hard cash in order to protect the nation's bathrooms. And that's why from now on we'll call them the National Association for Marriage, Bathrooms, Liberty, and All (NOMBLA).
Also this week, we debate whether marriage is a "Fact or Fancy," as one essayist put it in the 1950s, and also offer our thanks to the Australian legislator who said that gays shouldn't get married because Dolce and Gabbana are still single. Yup.

On this week's episode, we have new details on the Joe Biden-officiated gay wedding, including wild speculation over whether the Vice President invoked his right of prima nocta and bedded one or both of the men afterwards. We also have some dirty songs, and Roy Moore's Hexagonal Honeyhole. It's all very tasteful.
And: did you get the latest fundraising email from the National Organization for Marriage (And Bathrooms)? They called their own donors "pathetic" for not giving more money, so that's probably the most accurate thing they've ever said.

Liberace's seahorse
Who would be in your dream-remake of the movie Splash? For me, it would be Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi from Throwing Shade, and the title would be Splash 2: Serving Fishy Realness. Mermaids are the soup du jour on Bermuda, where the anti-gay-marriage forces are desperate for a compromise, now that it seems likely that they'll lose their attempt to hold back the weddings. The Isle of Man just got its first wedding, no thanks to a man who may or may not have had the head of a fish and the tail of a fish.
By the way -- on this week's episode, we note that there are very few (if any) famous black mermaids. But you can find a lot of lovely art here: http://mermaidsofcolor.tumblr.com/

Okay, I admit it: gay marriage is all secretly a plot to legalize bear-chicken marriage, as predicted by the TV show Arthur. Also on this week's episode: Utah's marriage equality plaintiffs got to march in a Mormon parade by exploiting a rule that was designed to keep them out. A candidate for the Supreme Court in Mississippi says that gay marriage makes America a "slave nation," and I guess he would know. Also, Australia has appointed a shadow minister for equality -- spooky!
