I do prefer your "marry a corporation" language to the "marry a dog" question when this was being argued concerning matters of race. The implication being given by such arguments is that, by defending the right of two people of like mind to marry, we are entering into the realm of legalizing disgusting things, such as bestiality, cutlerfelia (I would assume this is a sexual attraction to cutlery, like your spoon example,) or whatever classification we would wish to give to attraction to corporations.
It is those arguments that most reveal the bigotry of the arguer. You have no reason against homosexual marriage other than the fact that it disgusts you.
That is not enough.

2nd Circuit rules in favor of Edith Windsor. DOMA unconstitutional.

For a moment there I thought you were saying the Supreme Court had ruled it unconstitutional.

Do you know if there's a case about DOMA and the "full faith and credit" clause?

Either a ban discriminates against those affected more than those unaffected, or it does not.
