And, once again, someone demands that society alter to accomodate their particular outlook, that they are diminished if the mountains and earth are not re-arranged to accomodate them, that, should they not be allowed to dictate the arrangement and configuration of the fabric of law, society, and human existance, that it is injustice. Overblown self-centeredness.

This stems from the misconception that marriage is between two people. It is not. It is between two people and everyone else, who must accomodate, recognize, endorse, facilitate, and institutionalize for them.

"I want our politicians and religious leaders to stop going on television and suggesting that legalizing marriage for us would be like legalizing sex with dogs. My wife, in my arms? They are talking about my wife, in my arms. Do they know, do they care, how much that hurts?"

Why does this "hurt" them? I really don't understand their prejudice. No one loves a person like their dog. Unconditional love that, is not found in humanity. Dogs don't argue, dogs don't demand their own way. If someone finds pure joy and happiness with their dog and wants to share their life with them, why should this upset this homosexual couple. Why should they be "hurt" by the private relationships of another person?

Could it be that legally equating the interspecies love parterners, somehow degrades and makes a mockery of the "solemn" nature of her relationship? Because in fact interspecies relationships are NOT normal, and are in fact aberrant..deviant?

Well now. If she can understand that, then she should be able to understand that this is exactly how Hetrosexual couples feel about their marriages. It "hurts" them to hear homosexual partnerships described in the same terms as theirs.
