OK We've talked about aliens attacking the earth but what about friendly aliens?
Suppose an alien and a human fell in love and wanted to get married
The question is would we let them? Or would it be a long bloody battle like same sex marraige?
I sometimes wonder if certein people would compare sex with aliens to beastiality espesily if these alien races had things like fur/feathers/scales/muzzles/beaks anything that made them seem more like animals then people
As long as the aliens in question were still humanoid, something akin to the various alien races in Star Trek, for example, I don't see where there should be a problem. I think a pretty clear line can be drawn between bestiality and making love to a bipedal, sentient alien, regardless of fur, feathers, scales, or anything else.
However, I would wager that the elements of our society who oppose same-sex marriage, as well as any form of non-heterosexuality in general, would be violently against human/alien relationships. On the other hand, interaction with an alien culture would also mean that our (government's) opinions and our laws would no longer be the final word on the matter.

I wouldn't call a person a 'monster' if they try to stop a couple falling in love.
Remember, love can also bring pain and suffering - especially if the couple come from two completely diverse societies. If they get together, they will not belong anywhere - they will be hated by both sides and their children may one day have to carry the burden.
Love doesn't always have a happy ending.

1. out of feir its quit posible that even thou thes allians are pecfull the goverment would probly whont to hunt them down.
2. Okay say we becam friends with them. I't would tack time be fore ther fully exsepted. I mean look at people now a days there are still rashial problims between african amaricans and most wihte skined people
3, If a alian and a hummon had a kid, lets jest say, they would most likely be frowned apon by most people on bolth sides. kind of like Indians and Pilgrums
After a time went by ya Alians and hummons would be free to be together, but most definently not right away
I would think there would be some people from both sides who would be against an Alien and Human marriage. I mean, look how much the church hated the idea of same sex marriages.
But Love is a msytery, no one knows why it would pick two people to come together. Whever they have different coloured skin, religon, race, gender, or in this topic, Speices, love is the emotion that does not care for who you are but what you feel. It is a powerful force, no one should underestimate it.
Why would two people of a different race or speices love each other? It's a secret known to no one. Not Humans Not Aliens Not even to the ones in love.
No one understands the true nature of love. The Heart is the utimate Mystery.

IS THIS BECAUSE IM BI-SEXUAL??? HOW DARE YOU!!! I make joke...
No of course not, thats a vile act only a pervert would commit. I make second joke.
Seriously, If a human being and an alien fell in love, of course you should let them get married. It doesnt matter if the alien has two, or four, or eight legs. If soceity were to reject them, then you've got a problem with soceity and not with human/alien relationships.
Its practically the same thing as interracial or same sex marriage.
If they should be allowed to have kids... thats another thing, if the races were too distant you could get some rather nasty outcomes. If it was even possible for the human/alien female/hermaphrodite to become impregnated by human/alien male/hermaphrodite.
So you should probably have a doctor look into what the outcome would be before giving them permission to have kids.
On one hand, yes, because there ARE a couple of aliens I'd marry. XD
In all seriousness, I think it depends on what type of alien. Brainiac 5, for instance, is an android who turned himself half-human in a quest to understand humanity and become a part of it. We don't know if he's capable of reproducing, but in order for him to have the whole experience and understanding, he would have to experience love and everything that goes with it (dating, marraige, kids, sex, etc). The only thing is he's green and about as cuddly as Techfan. (XD) He probably doesn't WANT a girlfriend and whatnot, because he's more of a loner, and has been known to be EXTREMELY callous, deliberately putting people down. "Replace the power of the strongest being in the universe with the ability to uh... SHRINK. Sounds fair to me." "Hey. I'm standing right here. And I can do more than shrink!" "Sure you can."
Now Chameleon Boy on the other hand, is a Durlan, which is humanoid, but he's a shapeshifter. They're a race of people who are discriminated against because of this ability. Otherwise, Cham is actually Brainy's opposite- he's very sweet and honest ( to the point of being brutal, but he doesn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings), energetic, and could probably match wits with Brainy (WITS, not SMARTS, two different areas of intelligence). He gives all his love to everyone he knows, where as Brainy, if he even HAS any love, refuses to share with anyone but Superman (whom he has a borderline stalker relationship with). You should know that he's orange and has antanae (sp).
Superman is superhuman. Nuff said.
Edit: My original point was it depends.
