Man ‘marries’ his laptop, sues for state recognition and a wedding cake

A man who married his laptop is suing the state for his wedding to be recognized with a wedding cake .



Chris Sevier says that if same-sex couples are able to get married and demand that Christian bakers make them wedding cakes, then he should be allowed to marry his laptop and demand a cake to celebrate the union between one man and one machine.

The Washington Post reports that,the self-identified “machinist” says he married his laptop in a ceremony in New Mexico, and now he has sued to demand that a Colorado baker who is already in court after refusing to bake for a same-sex marriage must be compelled to make cakes for him and his computer “bride.”

He also has filed a lawsuit demanding that Utah recognize his man-object marriage.

A judge in Utah has allowed part of that lawsuit to proceed.

Masterpiece Cakeshop baker Jack Phillips is slated for a day in the Supreme Court this year after justices said they would hear his appeal of a Colorado civil rights office that penalized him for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding.
