Exactly. Homosexuals can get married just like everyone else. Understanding the definition of marriage.
Interesting that the OP continues to post all these gay-themed threads with the same results.
You and the poster you quoted do not understand the damage that is done to both the gay person marrying the straight person and the damage and lies done to the straight partner in that bogus marriage. Your ideas are just as antiquated as the ideas of those that said that a black person had the same rights to marriage as a white person, they could only marry a black and a white could only marry a white, so for that reason it was considered equal. Loving verses the state of Virginia decided that one for good. Making gays and lesbian have only the option of marrying a straight person they do not love, nor are attracted to is cruel and injurious to both. Would you like to be the man or woman married to a gay person that does not love you, just to satisfy the bigots with narrow minds? I think that most people would prefer to marry the one they love and be happy rather than miserable in a loveless marriage.
If we ever stumble on to sentient AIs, inter-category marriage will be way down on the list of things to consider. Can an AI own things? Vote? Will deleting an AI be murder?
NOW we know why the mice were on the Heart of Gold were there, it wasn't just a case of Trillion having a fetish about small furry pets. Small furry critters with human brains? Wonder what the Hitchhikers guide would have to say about that...

So long, and thanks for all the. . . rodents? Somehow that doesn't really seem to work, does it?

And if an AI which is mobile and functions as an individual is that AI not in fact a life form which deserves the rights of sentient life forms? Ask Data and the Cylons, especially the humanoid versions. What happens when those life forms who are not granted that status (ie, are by defination slaves) decide its time for things to change?
And no, we don't have anyone like Data or Number 6 now, but twenty years ago we didn't have much in the way of speech recognition on a computer and you most likely didn't have one calling itself a phone. Technology moves at a mind blurring pace, and the progress in AI, hiding in labs is extraordinary. The military is funding research on AI soldiers who are not subject to the problems of flesh and blood ones. How do you teach them which human's its okay to kill? What if they grow beyond where they started (which is entierly possible in a AI which is designed to keep learning) and they decide its time to change the rules? In fifty years we may well already have functional AI beings. Given the way we ignore the questions left by technology until it hits us in the face, I have the feeling we would just be hoping they liked things like they were.
Hopefully the AI's of the world would be able to see past the blind hate the humans of the world often do not seem to, and perhaps even teach us a few things.
And my solution today is to let everyone who are unrelated adults have a civil union with all those rights and privilidges that marriage gives, and if you want to call it a marriage have a ceremony. So if a church says its evil they don't have to do it but I'm sure there will be plenty of those who will.

But the last surviving human brain they knew about was poor Arthur the befuddled, and they wanted to slice and dice his brain to see if they could find the question to which the answer was 42, which could not be answered thanks to Earth going poof with the Vogons road clearing activities. It would be so ironic if the white mice conspiring behind their backs had perfectly good human brains too.
The dolphins left before the Vogon's came and the little white mice were plotting all along... maybe we NEED some nice AI help.
