A man who claims to have married his computer in New Mexico has sued
the state of Alabama for refusing to recognize the marriage, according
to court records.
This is only the latest in a long string of such lawsuits filed by
Chris Sevier, who describes his sexual orientation as "machinist."
Sevier has filed similar lawsuits in Texas and Utah and filed a suit in Colorado seeking to force a baker to make a wedding cake for him and his computer "bride," according to multiple news reports.
Sevier filed a federal lawsuit in Alabama's Northern District on Aug.
31 alleging his rights, along with the rights of individuals his
complaint identifies as "an ex-gay" and "an ex-transgender," were
violated by Gov. Kay Ivey, Attorney General Steve Marshall and Blount
County Probate Judge Chris Green.
In the filing, Sevier claimed he "married an object in New Mexico
with female like features" and asked Green to either recognize the union
or issue him a new marriage license. "Defendant Green issues marriage
licenses to individuals who self-identify as homosexual, but he refuses
to issue marriage licenses to zoophiles, machinists, and polygamists
license on a basis that can only be described as procedurally
arbitrary," the complaint states.
