Natick, Mass - The concept of marriage is once again being redefined in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Daniel R. Murphy, 36, a heterosexual independent insurance agent of Natick, Massachusetts and his life partner Rex, 3, a professional security guard employed by K-9 Patrols of Swampscott, have applied for a marriage license and are planning a June 2005 wedding.
The case has attracted a great deal of attention from both political and religious leaders because, in addition to Daniel and Rex being of different species, Rex has been neutered as well. The confusion surrounding the case is such that gay and animal rights organizations are refusing to get involved.
Mr. Murphy claims to be attracted to women of his own species, so we dont think that we have an issue involved in this case, said Jerry Holmes, Chairman of the Massachusetts Gay, Lesbian and Transgendered Alliance. Frank Smith, legal counsel for People for the Ethical treatment of Animals concurred. Yes, its a strange case, said Mr. Smith. But since Rex attained his majority at the age of one he has been free to marry and enter into legal contracts. Youll forgive my pun, but we just dont have a dog in this fight.
According to family friends, Daniel and Rex intend to adopt either a Romanian orphan or a litter from a pound in China. One friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, told Broken Newz that Daniel and Rex are going to have a lot of problems, more than most newlyweds, especially given Rexs disability. But they are a loving and committed couple and we all should give them some space, or a long leash to run on.
