"The battle for the right of same-sex couples to be married is, in the extremely long view, a fight for recognition as persons. Whether aliens, robots, uplifted animals, or cloned Neanderthals will be the first non-humans to demand rights, I don't know; however, I do know that it is not a matter of if, but when. I just hope by then we have moved beyond mere human rights."

But she's a BLUE LESBIAN ALIEN. That's, like, three minorities at once.
You forgot to mention that she's mentally handicapped and a refugee archetype from Japanese games.
All I can say is that if something arrives from outer space and demands rights, I for one think we should give it some rights, stat.
Rockin' good news for C3P0.
He seems to be pretty happy about it.
