Watch: Stephen Colbert explains the ‘slippery slope’ of marriage through cake
Stephen Colbert has ripped into a Republican lawmaker who claimed you can now marry a lawnmower, because same-sex marriage is legal.
Iowa congressman Steve King made the bizarre claim last month, while speaking at a campaign event for Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee.
Speaking about the Supreme Court ruling that brought same-sex marriage to all 50 states, King has claimed: “Their ruling really says anybody can marry anybody — and eventually it will be in any combination”, adding: “It only requires one human being in this relationship… you could marry your lawnmower with this decision.”
Given the number of bakers, florists, and clerks who have refused to allow some simple human-on-human weddings, however, Late Show host Stephen Colbert worried about how you might find a caterer for a lawnmower wedding.
The good news is he’s got you covered – providing cake toppers for nearly any wedding under the sun, for any place on the slippery slope.
Man and woman
Woman and woman
Man, woman and woman
Three women and two men, where one man is married to two of the women, and the other man is married to the other woman, but his wife is also married to one of the other women
Man and box turtle
Fifteen babies wearing tophats
The Eiffel Tower and Dora the Explorer
…and, of course, Steve King and his stupid lawnmower
In case you think you can actually marry a lawnmower, by the way… you can’t. A guy tried it.
