i mean you hear people complaining that if "two people that love each other, they should be able to get married" am i right? but the same people who say that, are disgusted with the thought would cousins, sibling wanting to marry each other. Or a 10-yr-old girl wanting to be a 20-yr-old man, BUT the society doesnt approve. What happened to the motto? If gays/lezzies should be able to marry shouldnt anyone and everyone? why not let humans and animals marry. So why shouldnt the government open the barrier completely?!?
and another thing..
if a white man wants to become a black man, where are the pills for him to make that transaction? He's a black man trapped in a white man's body, isnt he? Its sad that he was born the wrong way, isnt it? Or is it sad that he is ashamed of his skin color? dont you think that in the year of 2050 you will see freaks walkin around? A kid getting surgery trying to look like a 40 yr old man. It's sad isnt it? But at the rate we're going its bound 2 happen.

I know it seems crazy. That's my point. Right now babies are being created in test tubes to "bless" homosexuals with children. And you say I'm the moron...wow

I've heard this "slippery slope" argument before, and it's weak and unsound.
First of all, the debate is about marriage as a legal contract. Legally, a contract is only binding between *consenting adults*, two people who are mentally competent enough to be fully aware of the consequences and responsibilites of their actions. Therefore, a "marriage" with a child or animal is impossible - a child is not yet mature enough to handle the decision, and an animal is not capable of understanding the situation, much less able to grant consent.
The case of cousins or immediate family members is really not an issue here - by your argument, what's to stop a boy cousin and a girl cousin from marrying? Did allowing straight marriage make this any more likely to happen? Of course not. Gay marriage in no way attempts to overthrow or challenge this existing law.
Gay marriage isn't about opening marriage up to "anyone and everyone." It's about allowing mature, consenting adults access to a basic civil right.
And on your separate rant: well, why not? Who says you have to stay exactly the same as the way you were born? If participating in another culture brings him happiness and fulfillment, and doesn't harm anyone else, what's wrong with that? It's not about being "ashamed" or a "freak" - it's about expressing on the outside what you feel on the inside.
Your examples seem absurd, and you don't offer any evidence for them - show me the medical report of a white man trying to permanently change his skin color, or the kid getting surgery to look like an old man. And don't even think of offering tabloids as "proof" - their absurd and alarmist stories are fiction, not fact.

I support same-sex marriage and if it were brought up for legal debate, I would also support marriage between relatives provided that they don't have children biologically.
Now, the other instances you've described aren't really related to changing marriage laws. In the case of marrying minors, that would require changing the age of consent limit, not the current marriage laws. As for marrying animals, that would require giving them the same legal standing as humans.
As for your other inquiry; procedures to change skin color and evolutionary characteristics are nothing new. There are or used to be (not sure if they're still around) pills, injections, etc. which help increase the production of melanin in the skin so that tans can become darker and deeper effectively giving an individual darker skin with regular tanning. You cold also take the extra step and have cosmetic surgery to change facial and body characteristics. If someone wants to do this, it doesn't matter to me. I see no problem with someone changing their own body if they don't feel comfortable in it.

I don't see how letting gay people get married (which is legal in some states already) will spiral out of control into some sort of Armageddon. I'm sorry I just don't see that transition happening.

HAHAHA!! OK OK OK I get your point about gays in the first paragraph and I totally agree.
I don't believe in gay marriage, because marriage is suppose to be based around the belief in God. Now they can call it something else. But not marriage. I hate no one, but I do know that being gay is wrong, and I feel sorry for the people who are gay because they are confused and mentally ill.

I was about to formulate an intelligent reply, but then I read the last paragraph. It became clear that you're just a raving loony.

What's sad is people like you and your really twisted unintelligent opinions.
