I agree with this too.
But, an argument presented to me was that the basic human rights of gays are being denied because they can not marry who they want. Couldn't someone who wants to marry their pig say the same thing? Their basic human rights to marry who they want is being denied? Because they
know their pig loves them as much as they do and the best way to express their love is to marry their pig.

On a day to day basis, no. In terms of a moral fabric, I feel yes, it does.
