Well other than 'malady' I ask what kind of disturbance, irregularity or deviation do you say it is?

And as for malady, no it's not a malady. You don't get medical treatment for homosexuality.

Disorder being defined as an irregularity, a disturbance, a malady, a deviation from the normal.

For something to be a disorder/malady, it would also have to involve some sort of suffering or harm (to self and/or others) and an inability to function optimally (ie. can't hold down a job, have trouble getting through the day). Homosexuality was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) precisely because it didn't involve harm or functional impairment in the way that mental illnesses do.

It's a preference. A less usual preference, as cats are a less usual preference as a pet than dogs.

Spot on, the government should have no place deciding the terms of marriage other than officially recognising the union that the consenting adults have chosen.

What if neurological scans reveal that fluffy enjoys it?

Depends whether you want to risk PETA hanging you out to dry.

The devil says "oh come on, we all experiment"

Where Jesus points out that Satan has "experimented" over 652 million times. And Jesus watched him every time. the next panel has the devil saying "If I had of known you were watching all those times I would have put on more of a show."

I support same-sex marriage because one of our inalienable rights is 'pursuit of happiness'. The government can only infringe that right if there is a compelling state interest. The only compelling interest the government has in marriage is that it is a contract, and the government has to be able to resolve contractual disputes. The alternative would be pistols at 20 paces. The government's interest is the same regardless of the gender of the people entering into the contract. Whether it is called Marriage or something else it has to be the same for everyone, the government can't discriminate. (Well, it is not supposed to anyway.)
