An appliancophile would probably want to marry a toaster.

Wrong again! Please point out how agreeing with what YOU said means that I support all those things? You asked me if marriage was denied those groups, and we all know that it is. So again, what's your point? A man can't go and marry his computer. By me saying that, does that automatically mean that I think he should be able to?

What "third world country" would that be?
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

The Group That Decreed Homosexuality
is also famous for this great and important study:

Rhinotillexomania: psychiatric disorder or habit?

Jefferson JW, Thompson TD.

Dean Foundation for Health, Research and Education, Madison, WI 53717-1914.

BACKGROUND: Conditions once considered bad habits are now recognized as psychiatric disorders (trichotillomania, onychopagia). We hypothesized that nose picking is another such "habit," a common benign practice in most adults but a time-consuming, socially compromising, or physically harmful condition (rhinotillexomania) in some. METHODS: We developed the Rhinotillexomania Questionnaire, mailed it to 1000 randomly selected adult residents of Dane County, Wisconsin, and requested anonymous responses. The returned questionnaires were analyzed according to age, sex, marital status, living arrangement, and educational level. Nose picking was characterized according to time involved, level of distress, location, attitudes toward self and others regarding the practice, technique, methods of disposal, reasons, complications, and associated habits and psychiatric disorders. RESULTS: Two hundred fifty-four subjects responded. Ninety-one percent were current nose pickers although only 75% felt "almost everyone does it"; 1.2% picked at least every hour. For 2 subjects (0.8%), nose picking caused moderate to marked interferences with daily functioning. Two subjects spent between 15 and 30 minutes and 1 over 2 hours a day picking their nose. For 2 others, perforation of the nasal septum was a complication. Associated "habits" included picking cuticles (25%), picking at skin (20%), biting fingernails (18%), and pulling out hair (6%). CONCLUSION: This first population survey of nose picking suggests that it is an almost universal practice in adults but one that should not be considered pathologic for most. For some, however, the condition may meet criteria for a disorder-rhinotillexomania.

That's due to humans being f'd up though. Left to human nature, you'll have men wanting to marry ponies. Oh yeah, they already have.

So how is "man and woman" marriage ok, but gay marriage is f'd up, even though both come from the same f'd up human beings?

Because men and women have a "self evident" reason purpose and outcome to their union. Specific humans might frack it up, just as some specific women frack up the ability to bear children with abortion, but the male/female union is pretty much standard among mammals, and nearly every other animal. Homosexuality is a universal aberration.
