Re: DEFINITION CHANGING DOESN'T MAKE IT CORRECT...
There's nothing "homophobic" about not wanting to change a time-honored tradition such as marriage. The definition is what it is, pure and simple. For folks such as yourself who attack marriage come hell or high water is embarassing and such a waste of energy. America concentrates on the smallest and non-relevent of issues. That is one of our greatest blunders, not just on this issue, but many more across the board. It's plain as day to see, and most of us see the "gay marriage issue" for what it really is...blatent attacks on tradition, moral, and religious morays of society. You can be honest, can't you? When people don't fit a certain definition, nowadays, they try to change the definition to suit themselves. That's backward thinking, but who's really to blame: the people allowing the action to take place or the people driving the action? It's the same arguement I use when debating adultery. Who is at fault...the wife who took on a boyfriend, or the boyfriend who accepted her advances? I place the blame squarely on the one who "allows" the circumstance to play out. I don't blame gays for trying to change things...I am disappointed with the legislature, courts, and weak politicians for ALLOWING the definition of marriage to be tainted this way. They are truly the ones to be blamed, and ultimately ashamed for not standing firm against a small minority who want to bend the majority their way. An utter embarassment to the great traditions of America... This once respected nation will not become greater because Chuck and his new blushing bride Frank can wed. Allowing alternative behavior to become mainstream only divides and complicates young lives. They will continue to be teased, taunted, and abused no matter how you dress them up...married or unmarried.
