Alabama awakened on Monday to the realization that gay couples could, for the first time ever, apply for an Alabama marriage license and actually get one -- instead of being mocked or arrested or worse.
So, quite naturally, some folks wondered if this would somehow alter the trajectory of the universe as they know it, whether the wrath of God would descend upon the Heart of Dixie in the form of clouds of locust, whether goats and sheep would be wanting to get married, whether the earth would open up and swallow everything from Mobile to Huntsville.
One resident, J.T. Addaway, bravely walked into his yard in Blount County, northeast of Birmingham, to see how much things had changed
He posted the video to his Facebook page and it was picked up by local media.
Check it out. It is hilarious.
In the video, Addaway notices that his brush pile looks unchanged from the day before and that there is no suspicious homosexual activity going on. Same with his shed and his junk pile.
And he notes that homosexuals are not falling from the skies.
Nope. Pretty much nothing has changed in Blount County -- except a couple of squirrels are looking a little suspicious.
