It's a fair question, do you want to try answering it? If morality is of no concern, then why not open up marriage to those who want to marry animals, their sister/brother, mom/dad or multiple people?

1. You express opinions which I do not recognize as being consistent with Christian teachings and values.
2. You are not emplowered to decide how people should behave and to determine what's moral and what's not.
3. You are not empoowered to define for others how they should define important matters.
4. What is it about people expressing love and committment for one another that so disturbs you? Given the fact that more than 50% of heterosexual marriages end in divorce, one would think people who struggle to make such committments work would be applauded.
5. Ask for His forgivness, and love.

Makes you wonder about the sexual proclivities of some of these folks, given the number of closet conservative homophobes who have been outed in recent years one has to wonder if we've stumbled across a bunch of right wing closet goat molesters.

Get back to me when animals can give consent or sign a contract. This has been pointed out hundreds of times, but you choose to ignore it.

I am stating that if gays are really in support of marriage equality," and letting all who want to love each other, love each other, you shouldn't have a problem with a dad marrying his son, or a mom marrying her daughter. Also, there shouldn't be a problem with people marrying their beloved pets or marrying multiple people who you happen to love.

Are you in support of the above? If not, why, since it appears that you support marriage equality.

People tried that argument in Loving V. Virgina and I don't see people trying to marry their dog.

Why do animals need to consent, if a person can sign the contract for them? Are you suggesting that animals should have rights? It appears as if this is a moral argument, when it shouldn't be. Why impose your views on those who want to marry their beloved pets?

Again, I'm asking you if you support incestual marriage, polygamy and everything else? If you are for marriage equality, why aren't you for the above marriages???

Please do not use an argument based on right vs wrong or morality. Remember, you don't want that argument used against homosexuals.

So only people who are literate and can write or speak can get married?
