How about a chimpanzee?
My understanding is bestiality is wrong and immoral, much less a "loving" relationship with another species. However, should I be able to argue the definition of Marriage in order to make it legal?
Isn't that what homosexuals are doing? They CAN legally get married. Just to someone of the opposite sex. JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! But now they want preferential treatment...because. They need the definition changed to suit their needs.
Should my widower grandfather be able to marry his male room mate just so they both get the 10-15% tax cut? They don't love each other. Most of the time they don't even like each other. And they sure as hell aren't gay. So should they be allowed to get married just to save money on taxes?

Weird comparisons there. I'm with you on the fact that homosexual marriage is no use, but better leave all the other crap out. You might give some pervert a bad idea.

Well, actually you can't marry your dog because your dog cannot consent to marriage.
Many marriages are already due to convenience. Look at Anna Nicole. Do you thing she really loved that old man? How many people marry just for a green card? Thousands!
Hasn't divorce, adultery, and pornography already ruined the institution of marriage?
Gays want the equality for more than tax breaks. They want to be able to give their partners benefits. Yes, some states do have domestic partner benefits, however if one should die, the survivor would not have the financial security from social security or veterans benefits like a hetero couple would. Is that fair if they have been together for decades?
There are a number of preferential programs and policies in place for marry that homosexuals are denied. Many heteros just take it for granted.
Take the morality out of the argument. This country is diverse and made up of more than christianity. This is a question of ethics. The gays are not looking for a religious ceremony. The are looking for legal acknowledgement that they are a faithful couple. Give them the same rights and guidelines as a marriage and call it a civil union. Once there is a form of legal recognition, this issue will dissapear.

Rumors throughout the world stated that Madonna had intercourse with a few different animals.
You can marry your dog. We live in an open society.
America excepts virtually everything.
When your at home screwing that dog, if the neighbors hear the dog howling they wont think nothing of it.
Many people already kiss and dress their dogs with fancy clothing and even feed the dogs table food.
Go Head Get Down!

Your saying every single man in one of the most culturally, racially, lingually, religiously diverse country in the world does that? My God how ignorant.. lol. Anyway that only happens amongst very rural communities in South India. It is a cultural tradition in which their Bad 'Karma' get's passed onto the other living being. Infact the Actress Aishwarya Rai married a Tree because in her horoscope it said 'Her first Husband Shall Die' - Certain Areas of the country thrive on superstition. Starting at the most in the South & Decreasing the more North You Go to none at all (Such as Where I am from Kashmir). These Individual Sects within India who do such things should stop such nonsense because it is making yet another excuse to mock them. Furthermore they are bringing all other Indians or other Asians in general down with them.

Two consenting adults getting married is a lot different than marrying a dog that can't knowingly consent to marriage. A man and woman can choose to get married just for a tax cut...so I don't see how that's a good argument against gay marriage either.

i feel ya mate!
Ive wanted to get married to myself for a while now. But I have to wait until they start cloning humans.
Eventually, all people will be allowed to do ANYTHING they want. You just have to be patient.

well now, we have a homophobe in our midst. Sunshine, get a life. What the hell does someone else's 10-15% tax cut have to do with you? it doesnt affect you at all.
You don't like homosexuality - well then don't watch!
ignorance is a killer.

you should marry because you love the person - not for tax cuts or anything other than love - homosexual or not. homosexuals love just like heterosexuals - whether it's right or wrong in your eyes.
