Quoting from the European Convention on Human Rights:

In Europe the law *DOES* guarantee the right to marry. Just because the law in *your* home town doesn't (surprisingly!) mean that it holds true *everywhere*!

Also, on a strictly technical reading of the above, it only says that "men and women... have the right to marry" it doesn't say anything about the genders of the parties involved!

No I would not support that, neither would I support marriages to dogs, animals, children, or inanimate objects.
Please try to understand the distinction between *consenting adults* and "dogs, animals (aren't dogs animals?!), children or inanimate objects"
