Historic First: Gay Cats Get Gay Marriage!

12211cats.jpg

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is hoping to bring gay marriage to a vote by the summer, but until then, maybe we can learn something from the cats. Bruno and Solomon, two male felines who reside at Ollie's Place, a no-kill cat shelter on E 26th Street, became the first same-sex married cat couple this week!

Really, Ollie's Place wanted to ensure that the two cats didn't get separated by adoption, and to raise awareness for the cat shelter. Which doesn't necessarily explain why they needed their own gift registry, but you know what? We'll go with it. All those gay animals who've had to be content with domestic partnerships now have had their day. Hopefully Bruno and Solomon's love will last longer than Silo and Roy's. Mike Birbiglia has his own idea as to how they knew the cats were gay:

    I dare use this word, but this is "cute".

    Nice job on the video too.

  • How the hell do you know the cat is gay ?? Does it come up to you and go "Sssssay... meow" ?? Dumbest thing I've read today.

  • robingee

    You said "read" when you meant "wrote!"

  • No trust me... I've never written anything as stupid as this article.

  • smeetie

    Oh and the gift registry is for cat food and treats. Jezebel was being sarcastic when the mentioned Macy's and Pottery Barn!

    As the creator of this event I want everyone to please lighten up and see it for what it is - a sweet and fun event to help homeless cats. I hope it also promotes tolerance and donations. PLEASE follow the event (and the official wedding video which will be released on Jan 28th) at OLLIES PLACE on FaceBook! ...Mike DiCerto

  • hotguy

    Haha creator?
    You are jus trying to promote the homersexusl lifestyle and foist it on the cats
    What did you see these 2 cats mounting each other or WTF?
    Buggery is still buggery
    It should still be outlawed
    Even with the cats!!
    I need a cat to be a mouser but please don't send me a sick cat like that!

  • hb78

    You just failed so hard on the idea of sarcasm.

  • kilroy7

    As the creator of this event I have to say-lig hten up - this is a fun and sweet event to promote animal adoption, tolerance and to raise $$$ for Ollies- a GREAT cat center where I have volunteered for years.

    The official Wedding Video will be released on Jan 28th- the day after the event. PLEASE donate- adopt a homeless animal and become a friend of OLLIES PLACE on FaceBook!....Mike DiCerto

    No one is really worked up; just some people who choose to come around and say anti-gay stuff to get attention. And it works. I am guilty of giving it to them as well.

  • blink667

    Cats are so great they can do anything their tiny hearts desire.

  • The2ndComing

    It's even more sickening to know that are people out there who find nothing wrong with this.

    I encourage the faithful and righteous to hold on even tighter to your faith. The world will be cured of its illness soon

  • Ragingsemi

    Also, taking a look at your profile is interesting. 35 comments, the vast majority being on the subject of gay rights...hmm hiding something?

  • robingee

    Probably searches out gay rights stories all over the web to post about; for attention or to have someone to respond to them. Which we do. (me too)

    In other news: KITTIES!

  • handsomedevil

    I still think it's just Napalm. We'll see when there's a police brutality story and he's all "NYPD is the Klan with better uniforms."

    Plus, look for any mention of his incredibly slutty mom.

    "Also, taking a look at your profile is interesting. 35 comments, the vast majority being on the subject of gay rights...hmm hiding something?"

    Hahaha! This wierdo has got to be new to gothamist. Bro, there have been others who have already done what you're doing now.... Very late, buddy..

  • Ragingsemi

    So you neither confirm nor deny your secret homosexual tendencies?

  • Ragingsemi

    Man I only hope you "born agains" are right about the rapture. I'd be fucking stoked if all of a sudden all of the Jehova's Witnesses, Mormans, Southern baptists, and most importantly those weirdos at the Times Square subway station, all of a sudden just...poof...gone. I can only hope.

  • You do know that, since marriage is ultimately a legal contract for tax breaks, this isn't actually a marriage? There isn't anything to get worked up over, really (though it is still pretty cute ^^).

  • The2ndComing

    Yes people, this is what you've been pushing for.
    Here's your justification, right here. We don't need a psychic reading to know that the wicked sickos will soon be pushing for equality rights to marry domestic and barnyard animals too. Just wait. Man Man & Dog, or Woman Woman & Goldfish. Who knows with these caucus mountain neanderthals?
