What's up with the gay marriage at the end?

OK I'm confused: Why does this movie have a gay marriage at the end?

If you don't believe me:

1. The father performs the marriage by saying: "By the power vested in me, I pronounce E.B. and Fred O'Haire co-easter bunnies!"
2. After the union, Fred looks at his left hand, turns it over, and says "Wow!" (The way married people look at their new ring. If it's a normal ceremony there is no reason for Fred to look at his hand in that manner.)
3. Fred and E.B. exchange a few very loving glances during the union.
4. After the ceremony, the father says, "Now go forth, and..... (pause) ... deliver!"
5. They even have a honeymoon shot immediately after, where Fred and E.B. are riding the sleigh.

I'm not expressing any pro-gay or anti-gay sentiments here, but it just comes out of nowhere! Why would they go so far out of their way to sneak this into the movie without building up anything beforehand? Fine with me if you want to have a bestiality gay love plotline on the side, but don't just jump into a marriage without any chemistry build up!

That just means there are now 2 Easter Bunnies.

Lol you think too much. Nothing of that sort was indicated in the movie.

I know! Which is why it's so weird when they suddenly have a "union" at the end.

Nothing of that sort was indicated in the movie.

Well, to be fair, in the China scene after the credits, E.B. really does claim to "love" Fred.

There's nothing wrong with an animal loving a human. Friendship love, that is.

Correct, and there is no problem with a human loving an animal.. I mean, I LOVE bar-b-que'd chicken! hmmm so good.

Heck, even squirrel, rabbit and deer (venison) is good too.

Just lucky I guess that no one talk about eating the rabbit, or it might have become a porn I suppose :)

If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it copy this and make your signature!

There was no marriage implied.

It's ok to love animals, and animals love you. Real love. Respect animals and don't eat them. Ah and proud to be gay. :)

Just saw it, the line in china is roughly, You speak Chinese? I did think I could love you More. It meant in a friendly kind of way, not in an intimate sort of way

You certainly sound a little anti-gay. How can you mix up a coronation/naming ceremony with a gay wedding? Have you been to neither? (I highly recommend the latter; there's always good music.)
1. I pronounce you co-Easter bunnies doesn't mean I pronounce you married. It means I pronounce you co-workers.
2. Fred was dazzled by the fact that real friggin' Easter bunnies exist, and talk, and now he's "one of them" not in love with E.B.
3. That was admiration and respect. They're friends now. They saved each other's lives.
4. I have never been to a wedding where anyone says, "go forth and deliver." Maybe it's said at a different type of ceremony, where OB/GYNs get their degrees? I could understand that phrase after that type of ceremony, but certainly not a gay wedding.
5. That "honeymoon shot" is similar to ones found at the end of various Christmas movies, of Santa flying off into the moonlight with his reindeer. You don't think Jolly Ol' Saint Nick is diddling his new husband Rudolph 'cause they rode off into the sunset, er, moonlight now do you?
6. Bestiality and gay love have nothing to do with each other, and it seems you're trying really hard to put both of those into a family movie where bestiality certainly doesn't belong.

If you ask me, the only thing that was freaky about the ending of this crapfest was how Fred's father went from being a grumpy ol' git at the brunch table then as soon as he sees the... egg sleigh, he's suddenly dazzled and says he's proud of Fred for once in his life. He does a complete 180 in 30 seconds. Mmm, nope.

I'm a firm believer in the philosophy of a ruling class, especially since I rule.
