The real question is where will it end?
First we allow gay marriage under the guise of "social justice". Then perhaps the people who like having sex with animals will get upset, make a cause and go to the courts demanding the right to marry their goat "partner".
The conversation might look like this.
We demand the rights that the US has given us in the constitution! I am in love with this goat, and this goat loves me! I demand that this goat be treated with equal rights and given the same rights to marry me so we can enjoy the mutual enjoyment of marriage.
Just because this goat cannot communicate why would you discriminate against it? Would you disallow a mute person the ability to get married? Just look at the way it looks at me... we are in love!
Why do you discriminate against us? You are a hater and it is disgusting! You are the intolerant one, how you can you determine what my rights are?

Well,
as the goat won´t be able to speak the wedding vow
or communicate to people that she , in fact, is in love with you, it will be very improbable that humans will be able to marry goats in the near or far future ;)
If you want to have a relationship with your goat or sheep or oxen, you will still be forced to have it outside of marriage
Consent, do you understand what that means? And furthermore, what do 2 unrelated consenting adults have to do with that? How the fuck are gay people the same as bestiality just because their body parts are similar? Seriously, WTF is wrong with you people??
This tired old argument again . Animals can't sign contracts. Animals can't consent. Animals have no legal status, and until animals speak up about this it's going to stay like that.
The whole "informed legal consent" thing puts a great big fat sturdy wall in front of your slippery slope, so we don't have to worry about people who want to marry their goat/cat/dog/llama/pufferfish just yet.
If that's the case, then why allow men and women to marry? That was the evident start of the slippery slope, because then people of the same gender want to marry, and then if we accept your premise, people and animals will marry...

First we allow cathollic marriage under the guise of "freedom of religion". Then perhaps the mormons will get upset, make a cause and go to the courts demanding the right to marry their mormon "partner".
The conversation might look like this.
We demand the rights that the US has given us in the constitution! I am in love with this mormon, and this mormon loves me! I demand that this mormon be treated with equal rights and given the same rights to marry me so we can enjoy the mutual enjoyment of marriage.
Just because this mormon isn't christian why would you discriminate against it? Would you disallow a muslim person the ability to get married? Just look at the way he looks at me... we are in love!

Fixed.
First of all, non-human animals don't have standing to enter into a legal contract (which marriage is).
Secondly, that particular Slippery Slope fallacy is getting old, old, old. If you're going to sling bullshit at the rest of us, at least be original enough to sling bullshit with a slightly different odor every so often.
(Then again...fundies? Original thought? *facepalm* Of course they won't. What was I thinking?!)
Third and finally, we who support marriage equality aren't the ones talking constantly about zoophilia; you are. What does that say about the cleanliness of your mind (or, rather, the lack thereof), I wonder?
Same stupid argument was used when idiots just like yourselves decided you had a twisted moral obligation to god and country to stop interracial marriages .And save the purity of the races or namely the purity of the white race.
That argument didn't work then and sure the fuck won't work now no mater how dress up it is and how many pink bows you put on it up prop 8 is a nothing more than a of religious doctrine trying hide out under the pretense that you all have some kind of moral obligation, to family values and that gay marriages are assault against those those very same values .
This save the family campaign was big ugly lie. .To get y0ur own way . and you all know it.
Billy Joels one of Americas best songwritters, he covers a lot of ground over the years in his lyrics.
I don't think this song is one of his serious messages but as usual Christians will find offense anywhere
As a result of my love of, and faith in, Bronze-Age goat herder literature; I have developed a thing for a gorgeous goat.
"We demand the rights that the US has given us in the constitution! I am in love with this goat, and this goat loves me! I demand that this goat be treated with equal rights and given the same rights to marry me so we can enjoy the mutual enjoyment of marriage". "Why do you discriminate against us? You are a hater and it is disgusting! You are the intolerant one, how you can you determine what my rights are?"
Fixed
Even if your whole post weren't made of fail, even if someone were to try and argue they should marry their goat, even if marriage would be free for all and sundry (as in the case of this rather special lady who married the Berlin Wall)...
...even if all of that were true, I still don't understand how that's any of your business?
"We demand the rights that the US has given us in the constitution! I am in love with this goat, and this goat loves me! I demand that this goat be treated with equal rights and given the same rights to marry me so we can enjoy the mutual enjoyment of marriage"
Hmmmm, interesting. Considering that the Bible you worship SO much was written by Bronze Age goat fuckers, this is clearly how you morons think. And the irony therein.
Ahh, the slippery slope theory... Expected.
What the retards fail to get is that a consenting, HUMAN, adult relationship, has nothing to do with people marrying animals or children, as much as they'd like to tie the two together.
Yes, I can hear the countless voices of those who wish to marry their pet... could you get even enough to sign a petition?
Besides, why would you want to marry your pet when you already live with it?
Goats can't give consent.
Alternatively: "If we aren't letting gays marry, then straight people shouldn't be allowed to get married either!"
Sadly the fundie is right.... stupid and fundie but right
Someone will demand this... and i will laugh at them
Oh wait there is already someone who did. Animal rights activist Peter Singer
kinda made me think of this:
And the guy in the pulpit
Is a bigot and a liar
Some kid walks into my school and opens fire
Heard any good jokes lately?
'Cause we sure do need 'em
My punk band's called Operation Iraqi Freedom
...
(2x)What are you so afraid of?
.......
And two gay guys got married
And brought the family to its knees
How did they blow us to smithereens
Just a couple of queens
How did they do it
I'll tell you now
They brought marriage to an end
And I've found myself some culprits
It's two young gay... REPUBLICANSSSS
Young gay republicansss
Young gay republicansss
Young gay republicansss

CONSENT, MOTHERFUCKER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF IT?
Seriously... yeah, communication is a huge part of two parties being able to get married. And, no, one bark from a dog is not "consent", like some furries would want you to believe... :P
The real question is where will it end?
That depends on who your asking. I personally would like to see it end up like the civil rights movement, while you on other hand most likely won't be satisfied until christian have "converted" or killed every homosexual that you can find.
First we allow gay marriage under the guise of "social justice". Then perhaps the people who like having sex with animals will get upset, make a cause and go to the courts demanding the right to marry their goat "partner".
Careful now, you slip and fall down that slope your making. You can't compare same-sex marriage with what I can only describe as "bestial marriage". The reason it doesn't make any sense(Which you'll just dismiss out of hand) is because the whole concept of marriage, straight or same-sex, requires consent from bothparties. An animal can consent, just like a child can't legally consent until a certain age. If either party is unable to consent then there can be no marriage. Your arguement is the same stupid slippery slope that same-sex marriage opponents throw around all the damn time, when will you learn that it's not a valid arguement.
Contract law, numbnuts. Can you sell your house to a goat? Can you enter a contract with a goat? A marriage is a fucking contract.
But you just go ahead and keep fucking your goats.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
