How about, marriage is defined as a union between a man and a woman. Call your homo loving unions something else.

So, if it's called something else, you'd be alright with them "uniting?"
Well then, that was easy!
Man it's depressing to see so many ignorant assholes playing WoW these days. I suppose the serial ninja looters have to go somewhere once they've been banned from every guild on their server.
I don't suppose it would make any difference to ask this guy to cite his source for his definition of marriage. The Christian definition of the words doesn't really fix the issue for me, possibly due to the fact that marriage has been around since the 'tribal stage' of human development and does not require any external religious values, in order to give it meaning.
Two people of the same sex who love each other have as much right to get married, be miserable and get cheated on as everyone else.
No. Why should they? Even if they do, it'll still be marriage, and ought to come with all the rights and privileges thereof.
I hope a group of militant gays breaks into your basement and double-teams you with electric turkey carvers.
Funny, same-sex marriage and unions were perfectly acceptable in several cultures worldwide until the Christian death cult grabbed the reigns of the slowly withering Roman civilization. Which means same-sex marriage pre-dates your tired religious definition. So, perhaps you should just piss off Magul.
Call your homo loving unions something else.
How about we call it grade 'A' Marriage? Or Marriage plus? Or Lifetime Marriage Commitment?
You can keep your boring old normal marriage all to yourselves then.
Sure, why not, as long as they ensure equal rights as the ones marriage gives, you can call it whatever you like, as long as it makes us equal
How about, marriage is defined as a union between a man and a woman of the same race. Call your Loving loving unions something else.
Same shit, different decade.
Without recognition by the state, marriage (matrimony, wedlock)does not exist and social benefits provided by the state would not accrue to any of the contractors.
Therefore, the state defines what this social contract is.
Gender has nothing to do with it unless the state defines it so. In a republic or a democracy, that would be the citizens acting through their government who would define what marriage is.
Is this very difficult to understand?
Marriage... I recall it being something along the lines of a Father selling his daughter to another Man... I also recall it being something along the lines of one Man and up to as many women as you feel you can handle...
It's only recently that it's become 2 adults in one union... so how about Magul here fucks off and learns some history?
how about taxation is only for heterosexuals.
We queers will pay, oh I don't know, ATTENTION?
Marriage
the state of being a married couple voluntarily joined for life (or until divorce); "a long and happy marriage"; "God bless this union"
I see nothing about men or women. You lose.
You homosexuals will have all the exact same rights as married couples, but instead of referring to you as "married," you can be “butt buddies”. Instead of being "man and wife," you'll be “butt buddies”. You won't be "betrothed," you'll be “butt buddies”. Get it? Instead of a "bride and groom," you'd be “butt buddies”. You are equal. It's just that instead of getting "engaged," you would be “butt buddies”.
Here, in Britain, we do call it something else - civil unions. I guess you're perfectly alright with that.
Personally I think it should just be called marriage, but that's what you get for being in a Christian country, not like that nice secular thing America has going.
O wait...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
