What about retarded human beings? No offense to them, but some retarded humans have the mental capacity of a chimp. Should they be allowed to get married? If so, why not a chimp since it shares a similar capacity in brain function? Is it because it's of a different species? If that's the case that's just being a dirty speciesist. You can't discriminate between species now can you? I mean after all it wasn't too long ago that Americans were being discriminated against for having a different colored skin (oh wait... it's still happening today. Never mind
). Seriously though, if an overly retarded person can enter to a marriage 'legally' then I really don't see how you could say it would be any different than a chimp, which has almost an identical mental capacity.

What about mutes?
'They can still write lalalala'
What about deaf, mute, and blind people?
'Uh... They can do the whole hellen keller thing...'
What if they are quadriplegic?
'... Uhm.. they can't get married.. .. I guess.'
How DARE you say that a HUMAN BEING can't get married. You sir are sick and deranged with you putting limitations on marriage between humans!
