Last time I checked a donkey and a human being were not anywhere on the same level and to compare a relationship that two human beings share with that of an animal and a human is insulting.
On your previous comments in reference to communism, those goals discussed by The United States (a democracy) on the goals of a communist state are hardly set in stone, considering that the United States has continued to re-affirm its role as the "worlds police" by spreading democracy through out the world (which in theory is a good thing). However much like the U.S. we can not decide what the goals of ANOTHER government should be (Iraq is a mess), other people should not be able to dictate what others choose to do with other consenting adults. If the case of homosexual marriage is a moral issue so are many other parts of society. Including but not limited to
1. Smoking cigarettes
2. Consuming alchohol
3. Watching porn
4. Abortion
5. Posting on greekchat (have you seen the "Have you Ever thread?"
and the list goes on and on, should we also dictate to sensible adults all the things they should be able to do with their lives based on others morals. Its interesting you mentioned communism as a reference when the basis of its idea removes choice, which is exactly what a democracy is against. I am quite religious and believe in my Lord and savior, but that is MY belief if you WANT to share it it's YOUR decision as a human. If we want to be religious Jesus gave those a CHOICE on if they believed in him and his teachings, he did not FORCE anyone to believe or conform to what he said. That is a personal choice, that one makes. Much like marriage.
