Gay couple can't get married at Cedar Point because it's illegal in Ohio so they ruin it for everyone else


 AKRON -- Eric Morrison and Scott Kenimond say they saw Cedar Point's contest on its OnPoint blog: 13 couples to get married during September's Friday the 13th opening of Cedar Point's HalloWeekends. But when they learned the offer didn't apply to same sex couples, they took action. 
"You were going to be married by a Zombie, or renew your vows by a Zombie. And you had to dress like Zombies," Kenimond said. "So it was just kind of cool because we both love Halloween, we both love roller coasters, we both love Cedar Point, so I just thought it was like, the dream thing."  
But the fine print said only a man and woman could be selected due to marriage laws in Ohio.

To their disappointment, the couple's social media campaign led the park to end the contest. Kenimond says Cedar Point could have chosen any couples it liked, but everyone should have a shot at it.   
"In today's world, it's just not a fair thing to do to leave people out," he said.  http://www.wkyc.com/news/article/311307/45/Gay-couples-protest-leads-Cedar-Point-to-cancel-wedding-contest
This is the ultimate "I'm not getting my way, so I'm going to take my ball and go home" strategy. Since it's not fair to them, they're going to make it unfair for everyone.

Like I get it. It's 2013. Being Gay is cool now. But it isn't exactly legal to be married in most states. As a matter of fact, it is highly illegal. So until a time machine is invented, deal with it. Or. You can just move to another state that allows it.

And I understand that you want to be married by a zombie. But as you learned, life ain't always fair. Sometimes you have to just suck it up and not be married by a zombie. It's the little things like that, that makes a marriage work.
