Why hope or expect a heterosexual to marry a homosexual, so the homosexual can be married? I don't expect a homosexual to appreciate such a marriage, either.

you're right they do have equal rights they can marry a human of the opposite sex, not a problem.

By comparing the commited relationships of LGBT people to one type of unusual sexual fetish or another, you are in fact trying to defame gay couple.

Same-sex marriage is legal in several states and in DC here in the US, and in many countries around the world. Get used to it.
Your post is expressing agalmatophobia. I am in no way trying to defame anything. I'm asking for equality. Who are you to call agalmatophilia unusual? And why is "unusual" bad in your eyes?

And I compare loving agalmatophilia-based couples with loving straight couples and loving gay couples and loving any kind of couples. Your restrictive sense of permissiveness is Agalmatophobic in the extreme.

As far as same sex couples, I am used to it. I'm asking you to get used to agalmatophilia-based couples and quit relegating them to the scrap heap of second-class citizens or loonies. I'm asking for no more than you are.

How do you not have equality? Where in the law are you discriminated against?

I have no objections to you or anyone else wanting to love a doll but it is in no way comparable to being gay
I thank you for your understanding, but I feel you are wrong in your assertion that the rights of the minority should be subservient to the rights of the majority.

For all those who dont support gay marriage than you support the opposite which is?? that gays should reject the idea of having a life partner to share and support one another in good times and bad.. that we should just be relegated to a single lonely life or one of promiscuity and filling in the void through negative behaviours of which you will inevitably judge! Talk about setting people up for failure... I see a common thread amongst those that deny equal rights and that is a lack of humanity and empathy for fellow man. Hitler exuded similar traits...

We don't have a democracy, we have a republic. The rights of EVERYONE are respective, not the majority nor minority.

There has to be certain inalienable rights that protect citizens from the sway of a majority vote! This is called societal progress and seperates us from nations of the past..
