British Lawmakers Approve Gay Marriage

[tectak]

individuals that show no sexual proclivity at all:
evolution will weed these out eventually (i.e. we
still have a little time left).

uh . . . wouldn't that argument hold for same-sex couples? Why shouldn't people without sexual proclivity receive the same rights as "same-sex" proclivitists?

What happened to our equality?

I think you should be able to marry your horse....after all, it's all about freedom to live your life as you see fit. I cannot understand why it has taken so long to make this union, same sex, legally tenable. So why not go the whole hog (no offence intended)? Now that the barriers are down and we embrace same sex, opposite sex, same race, different race...when will it be possible to intermarry different species? Of course, one would draw the line at inter-marriage between mammalian man (or woman, of course) and say, your much-loved ( apparently, the raison d'etre for the legal bond) canary...but it's just a matter of time.
The reproductive stop caused by Inter-species marriage could be negated by adoption...so the family unit could be maintained. Oh, I know it will take time for even the far-sighted among us to see that this is the inevitable route we will find ourselves on but it is early days.
I once felt peculiarly attached to an Amanita muscaria (so beautiful yet ephemeral) that I dreampt of marriage....but that's just so silly, I know.
Nonetheless, I went so far as to enquire of our local Bishop, a very nice Orangutang, if it would be possible to marry in sight of God, but I could tell by her body language that this would be a step too far, even if I did love my beautiful Amanita.
So...we are where we are but to get here I have realised one thing. Nothing REALLY matters except the price of tea.
