@cesigConsent is the key there? What of the animals who willingly hump your leg? What of the cases of beastiality where animals are clearly consenting to the relationship - I think that overturns your claim that "animals don't consent, ergo, marriage with animals is not possible."If we're not going to discriminate on same-sex couples, why discriminate on same-family couples? Certainly a brother and sister can consensually enter into a relationship, and since by that time same-sex marriage is acceptable, brother and brother could too.But now we don't want to discriminate against the other relationships out there founded on love, like those poor polygamous relationships - why can't a man marry two women? Or for that matter, why can't three gay men marry each other? Sounds like discrimination to me.Of course now we have to address those people who aren't allowed to marry their farm animal, but they can get insurance for it? What if they really do love the animal? What if the animal really loves their owner? There are people who are attracted to animals you know. And animals (especially canines) have clearly demonstrated they are willing to engage in sexual relations with a human...ever seen a dog in heat? They'd take on a lamp if they could. Who are you to say they are wrong? Many of those relationships appear to be consensual, so why should they be discriminated against?Marriage is 1 man, and 1 woman. The moment you try to change that to include bickering cry-baby's you create a whole mess that can only get worse.

Which would make sense, if there was the slightest possibility of this proposal catching on.

If you don't realize more GOP-affiliated voters are bigoted against gays than DEM-affiliated voters, you have no business voting.
