An anonymous group of artists known as HackMarriage have made it their goal to update dictionaries that they feel inaccurately describe “marriage.”
According to the Oxford Dictionary, marriage is: “the formal union of a man and woman by which they become husband and wife” – the artists aim to change that definition to “The formal union of two people.”
“Marriage Equality is an issue where a lot of progress has been made recently, but where older institutions have yet to adapt,” a representative told ANIMAL.
“We decided to speed things up by hacking the institution that literally provides meaning to our lives: the dictionary.”
“We envision a city where every library and every bookstore has a hacked dictionary that reflects this more accurate meaning of marriage,” they added. “Because when our definitions change, we change. As a people, as a culture, as a society.”
