Well, excuse me! I think we were just stumbling over terminology, since I never considered genetic recombination MARRIAGE! We are not just stumbling over terminology. I am getting at the fundamental identity of humans and why we act as we do, while you are talking childish crap. You may not have considered genetic recombination "marriage," but that is precisely what it is. It is the basis of all we are and all we do. Without it, we don't exist. Where it exists, we exist. It is us - and it is NEVER homosexual. It is ALWAYS heterosexual. It is why men and women contract with one another in social marriage. It is also why we all hate divorce, why children are especially devastated by it, why we are hurt by it even as adults. Mom & Dad IS us in a nutshell, right down to our very essential genetics. When they split, the split represents a division of our essential identity, an identity we always want to maintain and that we sense we cannot maintain. It is why homosexuality and polygamy are both foreign to us. Will it still be marriage when we're combining genes from different species to create genetically modified humans? This is quite stupid, of course, since no one sees anything like this fantasy ever happening. But let us assume it will happen. When creatures are developed from combining different species, then that creature has resulted of a genetic marriage of two species (and the concept of species will likely have to be altered in this case, depending on the results). Big deal.
