As pointed out before
1) we are talking about the same species
2) we are talking about consent
That's like me saying that black people DO have the right to get married, just not to members of the same race.
We just go by the definition of marriage.
Fine... they can create a new word called morriage which replaces 'man and women' with '2 people'... but gets the same rights under the law.
When you argue over definition, you are simply shifting the issue. Basically, you think homosexual marriages are wrong, and will not support them. That does not give you or anybody else the right to take rights away from them anymore then they have the right to outlaw heterosexual marriage because it can lead to overpopulation.
If you have a good non-religious reason for you're belief then give it. Otherwise shut it, because I could care less what your specific holy book says.
