By the way, it's so much nicer just being accepting of these kinds of things and not have to twist yourself into knots justifying your stance against. :p

 The thing about that though, is that you end up sliding down a slippery slope. Where do you draw the line? At what point do you decide "That isn't acceptable, I'm not going to tolerate it"? It used to be completely unacceptable for two men to marry. In the future something else that you think is completely unacceptable might be viewed as entirely normal by society. Would you go on, accepting and tolerating everyone and everything that society accepts, or would you draw the line at some point and hold to your old views?

To go back to the examples of the woman marrying the Eiffel Tower and the man marrying the pillow - so what?  I think those two people are ridiculous, but if society decides it should be legally allowed, why should I care?
