A county clerk in Sioux Falls, S.D., was overheard threatening to marry her dog since she was so disgusted with the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage, according to Raw Story.
The comment, made June 29 at the Minnehaha County Treasurer’s Office, was overheard by Ellee Spawn as she waited in line with her daughter, reported KSFY.
“‘Well, apparently, I’m just going to marry my dog because we can just marry who we want,’” Spawn heard the female clerk say. “That was wrong—you can’t compare beastiality with two consenting adults getting married. They’re not the same thing.”
Nelson also stated that she spoke with the clerk who made the controversial comment and she said it was all just a misunderstanding—she was, apparently, just talking about her love for her dog.
