It's OK. They'll get theirs for their choice. God honors mine and considers faggots marrying as an abomination.

Oh, hi
His word does. You don't have to believe it. That's your choice. You don't have to believe I'm mocking you but I am.

Oh, hi
That is why I believe government should not be involved in "marriage'.
Marriage is basically a religious ceremony and can be a political one as well. If the government wants to set rules for two people entering into a" marriage", it should be called a civil contract, because in reality, a marriage, under the law, is nothing more than a civil contract.

Marriage is no longer limited to opposite-sex unions, a persuasive authority has ruled.
According to Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, it is also defined as “the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage,” reports the Adjunct Law Prof Blog in a post today. (Others had also noted the change earlier, as a trail of hat-tips makes clear.)
The secondary definition dates back to 2003, but it has recently gotten a lot of attention, the Associated Press writes.
In a press release earlier this month, the Springfield, Mass.-based company said it was surprised by the fuss, since its definition of marriage “is neither news nor unusual”—and it is, after all, the dictionary’s job to define words according to their common meaning,
according to the news agency.
“We were one of the last ones among the major dictionary publishers to do this,” says spokesman Arthur Bicknell.
Apparently, however, it wasn’t the final holdout. The Oxford English Dictionary, regarded by some as the Bible of English word definition, this month added a secondary definition of marriage in a draft version.
so we go thousands of years with the definition of a word, then suddenly at the turn of the century some publishing company in ..ready... Massachusetts issues a "press release" that says they are changing it for political correctness, and you want to say, "and look OXFORD said it too WHOAAA, SEE, TOLD YOU.."
you're funny

It ruins what true marriage is supposed to be.
Looks like you made another demand you're too fucking cowardly to back up.
Still waiting on the name and location of the business you claim to own. Seems like that claim is nothing more than a fucking lie.
I agree, Yaya. If the Government would use the WORD 'Civil Union' rather than 'Marriage', the Problem would be solved. Both groups could get what they want. Unfortunately, the PC Fascists and the Jesus Freaks have ZERO interest in solving problems, they just want to prance about, screaming "I'm right and you're wrong!"
Same thing your meaningless demand that I shut the fuck up does. Still waiting on your to enforce your demand knowing that you're too cowardly to step out from behind your bitch's skirt.
So someone that believes the word of God is a Jesus Freak? Does that mean someone that supports same sex marriage is a Faggot Freak?
You raised the topic that I should shut the fuck up. Didn't think a pussy like you had the guts. You've proven you're nothing more than yet another loud mouth demand maker that knows he can't and knows why he can't back up his demands. Safest position you can take is the one you take, boy.
Yet another demand you won't back up. Stay safe behind your computer and imaginary business.

Oh, hi
I don't like the term Jesus Freaks, though they do exist. Other than that, we are in agreement.
I don't like the term, yet have called my brother one about a year ago.

It does seem like a drastic shift.
domer76 had a definition: 'Partners in a Personal Relationship'. That seems like a modern re-definition of Traditional Marriage that should work. No mention of gender or number of people involved. Just vague enough to include everything you want.
