No dog or laptop can consent to civil marriage or a civil union. So, I doubt that will happen. I think most of these folks are being sarcastic or have some mental condition.
Now, as for gays, polygamists, and the polyamorous... they are tax paying citizens. The government represents them as much as it does anyone one else. Given the statutes against discrimination I don't see them being denied their wishes forever. In my opinion, simply having the government provide a general "civil union" would be a one size fits all option... and we get to remove the word "marriage" from the mess and use it as intended.
Besides, even when the government strictly recognized only a man and woman in the bonds of "civil marriage"... the laws governing those marriages were unbiblical. I'd hear this wacko freak-jobs say, "We're takin' a stand for biblical marriage!" Idiots. I don't know if civil marriage in the United States has ever been "biblical".
