Marriage was originally intended to be between a man and a woman - now we're trying to legalize marriage between two men or two women. So you really can't say that it might not evolve further.
And if/when it does - the same argument will stand for the supporters of that issue: 'Who are we to stand in their way?'.

Why why why? Why would you argue that two gay people wanting to be married was like someone wanting to marry an animal? Am I wrong in assuming she's comparing homosexuality to being a beast?
