Hi,I did the following:
Q&A: Gay activists: why would you say it’s okay to marry the same gender?
Shouldn’t I be allowed to marry my dog, toaster oven, the pigeon I always see at my train station, or violin? Shouldn’t marriage stay sanctified with just a man and a woman?
I know the sanctity of marriage has already been ruined by people handling it carelessly and getting divorces left and right, and it’s really sad, but isn’t allowing same sex marriage helping marriage to become even more of a joke?
The following is the answer:
Answer by Robin Parker
I think it’s a great idea. We are all PEOPLE, why not? Your Dog, toaster, or anything else can not say “I do”. They can’t sign papers.
But honestly, I couldn’t really care if you married your toaster or not, if it makes you happy, go for it.
It is not a joke.
Answer by Closets r 4 clothes not people
Well, when your dog, toaster oven and pigeon be able to sign the marriage certificate and say “I do” in your wedding, then yes you could marry them 
and why would marriage be a joke if 2 men want to get married ? who said that marriage is only between man and woman ? who made this rule ?
Good luck <3

Since a pigeon, a guitar, or a toaster oven can’t mutually express of consent to their love for the human in question, they can’t get married. For the similar reasons, hunting isn’t murder, nor is throwing out a foot stool child abandonment.
Answer by Thor of Raven’s Wings
Dogs/Toaster ovens/Pigeons can’t consent….
There is not a witty educated intelligent reason you can say that Gay Marriage shouldn’t be legal.
Answer by djthrenody189
Why should anyone be left out of a joke. I don’t want to get married, but I want the ability to do so. The only reason marriages fail so often these days is because we live so much longer. If we still died at 40 then we wouldn’t have time to hate each other.

Your dog, the toaster oven, a pigeon, and a violin can’t consent. Another person can. That’s why.
“Sanctified” is a RELIGIOUS concept. I do not ask any church to marry me, or accept my CIVIL marriage, but to stay out of my civil rights. That 1st Amendment is a pesky rascal, isn’t it?
Also, your dog, a toaster oven, and the pigeon cannot give INFORMED ADULT CONSENT, a requirement for civil marriage.
And actually, since gay people are fighting so hard to be allowed to marry, I bet we will actually be better at it than the people who get drunk in Vegas and marry someone they just met.
And I don’t see how allowing me to formalize legally my relationship with my partner of 12 years has ANY effect on ANYONE’S marriage.
Your reasoning is well structured….
Why wouldn’t a man and a man, or a woman and a woman treasure marriage as much as any other couple? Please explain to me why “Marriage” has been ruined by same sex marriage.
What’s the bigger joke is that people like you preach religious reasons about keeping marriage “holy”, while you judge and ridicule others.
I am getting married to my boyfriend, regardless of what people like you will say.
You will be one more reason TO get married.
two dudes getting married is just wrong thats disgusting
why would you say it’s okay to marry someone of the opposite gender? to ME that’s totally unnatural…
see? to YOU it’s natural to marry the opposite, but to ME it’s natural to marry the same
Did you know gay marriage existed before christian marriage? Of course you didn’t.

There’s no reason not to have gay marriage. Dogs have nothing to do with love between two consenting adults. People knew this before fascist christianity became prominent
I would say it’s okay to marry the same gender because just because it’s a he or she SHOULDN’T matter. May I ask: when were WE allowed to decide whether a man could marry a woman? We were never allowed to do that! I can guarantee that we would vote for all marriage rights because we know what it’s like to not be allowed to marry the person we love. Imagine, just for one minute, that you couldn’t love the person that you loved, that you couldn’t be with them forever, that you couldn’t have kids with them, that you might get killed or threatened or injured because you loved this person. JUST BECAUSE YOU LOVE. Does that seem right to you?
Love is the answer. <3
Do you understand how legal documents work?
You idiot?
..really?
like you don’t see the difference between a subhuman animal or non-being and two consenting adults who love each other? your logic is That flawed?
Did you even think before typing this question?
Everyone else already said what I would say….
How is having gays marry making it a joke? First off marriage isn’t some religious ritual it is recognized by the state and if it were a religious ritual then it should be banned because the constitution guarantees separation of church and state. Other people getting married isn’t going to ruin your marriage so why do you care what others do? Also who said that marriage has to be held so sacred, the reason why homosexuals want marriage is not only equal treatment under the law but also because of the benefits.
I don’t think you should be allowed to marry your dog because it isn’t consentual, and you can’t marry an inatimate object like a toaster because why whould a toaster need the benefits?
You are mixing up LOVE with stupidity. Also, from the tone of your question, I even doubt you are interested in a real answer. But I’ll give one anyway.
Marriage, as a legal institution, is between two people who have declared their love for each other and plan to live as a unit. As such the state/government needs some kind of record keeping to collect taxes and count their citizens.
In some countries, that legal arrangement is handled by a local official. In this country, that function, in part, was handed over to religious institutions. You can still get married by a mayor or justice of the peace. But for whatever reason, people seem to believe they need a god to oversee the operation and want clergy to perform the swearing.
No one expects to marry anything other than another person or persons. Some religions allow that even though it is no longer allowed in the USA. Maybe in your home world it is.
So – marrying a person of the same sex is just as valid as marrying the opposite sex. And as proven in Mass., USA when the gays got married, the divorce rate WENT DOWN. Gays stayed married better than the straight folks.
So, take your violin, make some toast and crawl back into your pew and hide your face from the rest of us!
