Now that homosexual partnerships are recognised union for legal purposes, how does the dissolution of an unconsumated but otherwise loving heterosexual marriage compare in law with that of a 'consumated' homosexual partnership? Are both seen as equal, or it the homosexual relationship considered of better standing in law. If the latter, does this now mean that homosexual sex is considered more worthy in law than a loving but celibate partnership??

It depends on what type of union you are talking about. Marriage has the legal benefits whether it is consumated or not. There are some issues on dissalusionment of marriage that involve consumation but for general purposes, marriage is it. A civil union, to my knowledge, does not carry the same weight as a legal marriage. That may also apply to a common law marriage between a man and a woman.
The problem with gay marriage is that it is not asking for the same rights as heterosexuals, it is asking for additional rights for homosexuals. The gays already have the same rights as normal people, they want extra rights.

It would depend on your own legal system. The simple principle however is that the 'dissolving' of unconsumated marriages is only a RELIGIOUS remedy.
Unless the USA legal system differs VASTLY from ours (South Africa), then the fact whether a marriage has been consumated makes no difference IN LAW. In church, well they do not recognise homosexual unions or marriages, so the question is academic.
Your argument shows a WEIRD convoluted way of trying to say gay marriages are bad. If you think that gay marriages is bad, say so, rather than using weak arguments that prove nothing.

The current concept/law is based that marriage is possible only between man and woman and sex is possible only between man and woman.For this you require a licence called "marriage".Sex without marriage is illegal or postitution or act including moral values.Since homsexual/marriage is not legal at present,there is no violation involved.There "no effective sex" between the partners of same sex.

No idea but I don't agree with homosexual marriage, what kind of role model to adopted children have for parents? 2 mums or 2 dads? That means they'll probably grow up homosexual when they might have been straight.
