I do find it funny that, when I abide by your rules "doesn't affect you" and "doesn't infringe upon anyone else's rights", I'm now just a troll.

Is it because your guidelines for enacting laws are complete bullshit?

You're a troll because you ignore common sense on purpose.

Toasters can't contract. What point are you trying to make?

Oh, now we have "common sense" as a factor?   "Common sense" says marriage is a contract between one man, one woman.   It's been that way for a very long time.

As for toasters, as long as it "doesn't affect you", "makes more people happy" and "doesn't infringe upon anyone else's rights", why should you care if someone wants to marry his toaster?

You can't marry a toaster because toasters aren't people. They are objects. They can't sign a marriage license. They can't say vows. They can't be held legally responsible for anything.

This is the common sense you are ignoring on purpose.

Laws can be changed.  Based on your "doesn't affect you", "makes more people happy" and "doesn't infringe upon anyone else's rights" guidelines, I expect you to be an active lobbyist for toaster marriage.

Changing the capacity requirements for contracts would be a big deal, much, much bigger than allowing more people to marry. Especially since gay marriages are already happening in several states.

I guess we already know the effect gay marriage has on everyone else: nothing.

Do you think a rash of toaster marriages would have an effect on anyone else?

Looks like bad_luck is just narrowly defining marriage to fit his personal agenda.  Everybody else be damned.

It would be a pretty awesome tax loophole.

I'm sure that all people with deeply held religious beliefs against same-sex marriage will be relieved to hear that, according to you, their beliefs are to be totally disregarded.

So to summarize: if you're gay, society must cater to your wants and needs.  If you're religious, well then, **** on you.
