We are in different classes of sexual orientation,â he told the court in Utah.
If gays feel as is they are second class citizens, Mr Sevier argues then âthose of us in the real minority, who want to marry machines and animals, certainly feel like third class citizensâ.
Mr Sevier apparently sought a marriage licence for himself and his âmachine spouseâ, but for some reason was denied.
âThe exclusion from marriage to a machine denies myself a dignity and status of immense import,â he argues in his motion.
Mr Sevier cites legal precedents around the world - including a case where a woman married a dolphin and a Chinese man wed a cardboard cutout of himself.
âAllowing my marriage to go forward will not adversely impact the fertility rate any more or less than a same sex couples.
âIf there is a risk that is posed to traditional marriage and children, both man-man couples and man-machine couples pose it equally.
âIn considering the equal protection clause, there are no fewer policy reasons for preventing man-machine couples from marrying than there are for same-sex couples.â
Unfortunately for Mr Sevier, the courts in Florida and Utah, found his legal arguments unpersuasive.
But with the gay marriage being tested in courts across the country, more motions are inevitable.
