A marriage is NOT only between a man and a woman
We must be open-minded. Though traditional marriage has always been between man and woman, there's no reason why we MUST stick to that rule, is there? What harm, exactly, is done by not-so-traditional marriages? It's just what people find appealing to their own personal sensibilities, correct? And who are they to impose their private opinions on the rest of us?

Man in India Marries Dog to Atone for Stoning Canines to Death
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
Nov. 11 (AP): P. Selvakumar, left, places a garland on a sari-draped former stray female dog named Selvi.
NEW DELHI — A man in southern India married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death — an act he believes cursed him — a newspaper reported Tuesday.
P. Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.
Selvakumar, 33, told the paper he had been suffering since he stoned two dogs to death and hung their bodies from a tree 15 years ago.
"After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," he said in the report.
The paper said an astrologer had told Selvakumar the wedding was the only way he could cure the maladies. It did not say whether his situation had improved.
