I am just letting you know how the definition of the word came about. The only reason the word has existed in human societies and civilizations was to regulate from a social point of view the obligations and responsibilities attendant upon procreation. I see absoultely no reason to change definitions of words just because you feel like doing so.
When you start playing games this way you are actually acting as if the institution of marriage has no basis independent of your own arbitrary whim. That is crazy to me.
I am all for gays being allowed to have a union and tat union being recognized but to call that action a marriage is crazy.

You're clearly referring to your religious interpretation of the word and are grasping at straws to come up with a secular argument to support your conclusion.

So you're issue is more to do with the sanctity of the WORD "marriage" than with the actual sanctity of marriage?
You're good with two guys having a legally recognized loving relationship that has all the benefits as a heterosexual couple, so long as they don't use the WORD "marriage?"
As you said earlier...makes zero sense to me.

The word marriage was originally used to show obligations between a woman and her husband and signify her as his property. Glad tosee the definition has never changed. Solid argument champ.

I'm pretty sure that Stash was once the Governor of Colorado. He'd be perfectly happy if we allowed gay marriage, only if we designated gays as "Butt Buddies" instead of "married."
Because the definition of a word can never change in the least bit. Weakest argument ever. Stash needs to watch the south park episode and realize that the world is laughing at him for being so simple minded.
