LADY, your soror's answer was a great legal thesis, but as with most law, it puts itself above all else. Constitutionally, it should be a right for gays to be married. But law is without a conscience, morality, and seeks to satisfy itself. It is legal for schools to have Gay clubs but not a gospel choir. The Town square can have a Santa Claus but not a manger or a depiction of the real reason for the holiday. The law will inconvenience 100 people for the intolerance of 1 as long as that 1 person is not standing for a moral or Christian cause (it will if it is for a minority religion though...jews, jehovah witnesses etc). The goal of the law is to not only supercede moral authority, but to denigrate it. We remove prayer from school , but we provide condoms for children with which to fornicate. We remove the Ten Commandments display, not because they violate the separation clause of the constitution, but because we don't want any moral authority to be co-equal or above legal authority. Moral authority is thus diminished and the only RIGHT and WRONG can be divined not by what is HOLY but what man can derive from his own EMOTIONS and INTELLECT. So whatever is the whim of the day, whatever is fancy for the time, whatever is popular on campus or in the hallowed halls of law schools, is what is right for for right now. Moral standards that have stood for 5000 years can be wisked away by a judicial opinion of 5 out of 9 moral relatavists. People who hold STEADFAST, BEDROCK beliefs (not feelings) are ridiculed, called judgemental, and told that their beliefs are archaic and intolerant. In this secular vacuum, it is the one who tries to maintain some respect for morality that is demonized, that is societies leper and outcast, that is pointed out and isolated and wears the scarlet letter. Yes, the "law" has won.
The whole animal marriage thing is a red herring and AXO needs to stop tripping on that.
Oe more thing LADYGREEK, the correlation between homosexuality and beastiality is made by Moses as relayed to him by God in the Book of Leviticus. It is mentioned as one of the 3 abominations of prohibited sexual activity, (incest, homosexuality, and beastiality) that people who claim Yahweh as their God are not to engage in. This last statement was a point of fact and not a judgement on anyones lifestyle or religious beliefs
