Rarity has finally fallen in love with Spike. They want to spend the rest of their lives together. But unfortunately, they can't get legally married, since they aren't the same species. Now they face a legal battle to get the ban on inter-species marriage overturned, as a group of ponies fight to keep the traditional definition of marriage as between a pony and a pony.

that coverfic gives me nightmares
Aww that's too bad that nopony can get married anymore.
This makes so much f***ing sense. The only winning move is not to play. The Mayor Mare is the best pony, solutions like this is why she was elected in the first place.

I like this fic. a lot. It's an ingenious mockery of real world political issues, absolutely amazing.
We went through this same battle here in Maine over gay marriage. After numerous years of trying to get bills on the ballot by both sides, (one side with a bill allowing gay marriage, one side with a bill to make gay marriage expressively forbidden) the supporters for gay marriage finally won.
It is now legal for a man and a man, or woman and woman, to marry just like a man and a woman can. Unfortunately, the Federal government still needs to catch up on this, and recognize the legalized marriages.
This video says it all.
So...if the issue is about the legal benefits that come with marriage and those are abolished, nobody cares anymore?
...works for me.
Yes. Yes you are.
Beautiful. 11/10. Would fap.

Very amusing piece herre. I loved mayor mares solution . Buck everything you lovebirds. Suffer like the single people.
The only thing buggin me is your insistance on the use of the world 'people' in a fictional land where that term should not exist in the first place.
Other than that, it was a pleasant read.
3143114 Thanks!
I use the term "people" to refer to any sentient individuals, whether they be ponies, dragons, donkeys, etc. It just kind of felt weird calling everyone "ponies" in a stroy where you have a lot of non-ponies.
I don't know how Rarity could accept that, I mean wedding dresses have to be most of her income. Pretty over the top story right here. Too off the wall for me, but that's my problem. See no reason to down vote if people enjoyed it.
3143283 Weddings can still be done. Just no state sanctioned marriage. The churches can still put on all the weddings they want.
3141995 you've just made the world a better place.
3144054 Joy to the world.
Amen.
Now that I think of it, I don't see why this shouldn't happen in real life as well.
That was so fast I think I broke my neck from the whiplash...

Using mlp fanfic to shovel political tripe... That's a new one to me.
Spike and rarity still lost. They wanted to get married now they can't or at least in the eye's of the government. Sure now no one can be married so everyone equal but sometimes we must sacrifice equality or fairness. Sometimes you just got to suck it up, plus that was pretty dumb about homosexuality being aloud but not inter-species marriage.
3153003 This is quiet easy go to canterlot and get married.
on a side note its only marriages in pony that is abolished. anywhere else still has it.
reminds me of the laws against interracial marriages (even though it was heavily satirizing same-sex marriages)
that was pretty funny i liked it
The line about Spike being too young still sticks in my head and makes me twitch slightly. Either way I love your solution and the mayor was hysterical Iron will was awesome too. Bravo!

. I pray that God will help them see the light soon.
Partially agreed. While that would alleviate the surface problem, it would not change the acceptance factor. It might even worsen it. Ponies who are already married wouldn't want to let go of the benefits and ponies who are of strong belief that they need to be bound by marriage prior to sexual intercourse would be devastated and defiant as, if not more so, then the ponies who were pushing marriage equality. I personally believe any of the so-called Christians who use the bible to endorse their opinions on others rather than tell everyone about the good news should suck a
