Ah! The slippery slope argument!
There is a fundamental difference between marrying someone you love, share feelings with and share a life with and a dog, child or corpse.
Do you see it?

Of course there is a difference. However if we include same sex marriage solely on the basis of not desriminating against a group of people, then the same argument could be applied to those groups who wish to marry a dog or a child or a corpse. I would think that they would be a much smaller minority than homosexuals, but the question would be why would the argument for not discriminating stop with these groups?
