Australian Couple Fails Jesus's Commandment, But Also Grammar

By Baxter

When we cats first read that a married couple in Australia has vowed to divorce if the country legalizes marriage equality, we thought it was a joke. In fact, a part of us still does. What better way to get 15 minutes of fame and sucker the media and the public at the same time?

But on the off-chance that they're serious, we just have to say, how ridiculous. They claim to be Christian, but as we recall, Jesus told his followers to "Love thy neighbor as thyself." (And how does someone else's marriage affect theirs? Baffling.)

But in the long run, we cats don't give a rodent's behind about these misguided people. Here's what really set us off: "This has been a big decision for my wife and I," the husband huffed self-importantly.

FAIL! We'll be happy to debate marriage equality with this loser as soon as he learns to speak the English language. We cats HISS.

Love this post. While I didn't mention them on my blog, I soundly ridiculed them
on HuffPost comments, where most commenters suggested that he welcomes
this protest as an excuse to get out of his marriage.

Purr-fect! And to be fair (because we cats are), we must note that pro-marriage-equality folks can be grammar-stupid, too. Check out what WNBA star Glory Johnson said about her recently imploded union with fellow player Brittney Griner: "I shouldn't have went through with it." HISS!
