SEATTLE - A very unique wedding in Seattle on Sunday afternoon as people came to witness the union of a woman - and a building. In order to save a building from demolition, a Babylonia Aivaz “married” it.
Aivaz said "I do" to the warehouse on 10th and Union on Capitol Hill. She said she fell in love with the 107-year-old building during an Occupy Seattle protest and doesn't want to see it torn down to make room for a brand-new apartment building.
"I hope that America wakes up and realizes that gentrification is a serous issue that affects poor people, especially people of color, and we really need to stand up and do something about what's happening in our neighborhoods all over the country," she said.
"When I look at this building I see a community center, I see a community art space, i see a homeless shelter, I see free childcare, I don't see a building, I see a space that can address all the needs of our neighborhood.”
The union will probably be pretty short-lived - demolition is already underway.
Lunatic lefty..and the person that performed the official marriage needs their head examined. =.=
...I see crazy people. LOL
How blindingly stupid. Not sure I’ll ever get used to the left’s mindset. I hope I don’t.
Maybe they can hire ObamaCare Demolition Co. to knock it down.
How about she can have it as long as she can find another place to put it.

If it rains outside, some will say:
"Those who walk around without umbrellas are expected to get wet."
"Especially people of color."
She was last seen mounting a nuel post
The Onion has nothing on the West Coast.
This is quite common in Seattle.
People marry objects, pets, same gender whatever.
Progressive, visionary types love Seattle. Its the weather.
Here is an example of a typical wedding in Portland:
It is the same in Portland.

This is going to end in a divorce when she learns that her warehouse is seeing a parking garage on the side.
gentrification.... the opposite of making it into a ghetto?
“About 30 people attended Aivaz’s wedding, which she says is a gay marriage because the building is a woman.”
So the building is going down?
really wish I didn’t click on your link, thanks for that. I was about to head to bed, now my dreams will be terrorized by what has been seen.
if fags can get hitched, well...
