You're stretching. A dog can't give consent, or sign on the dotted line. Neither can a corpse.

What the pro-gay marriage is asking is for us to extend the definition of marriage ONLY to the degree THEY want, but no further, at least not yet. They're like the driver who drives 5mph above the speed limit but will block anyone from passing him because he feels breaking the speed limit is ok but only to the degree he personally is comfortable with.

A totally useless and irrelevant analogy.

Marriage is a union between a man and a woman, not too men or two women or a man and a corpse, and I will continue to oppose any and all attempts to expand that definition beyond it's original meaning.

That's fine, since none of us here can affect the issue in any direct way. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and mine is no better or more valid than yours, and vice versa.
