Rational and proud of it.
Probably for the same reason you do.
What was that? You didn't know you were dominating the definition of a word? What the fuck did you think you were doing?
Those who support equal rights for all, to include same-sex marriage, aren't arguing about the definition of a word, but actual equality. Have you heard arguments to change the definition of marriage or have you heard arguments NOT to change the definition of marriage? Conservatives use the "Don't change the definition of marriage" argument. Those who want equality just argue for equality.
Excuse me?
Many people, a vast majority of the planet, views marriage as a religious rite. The people who are advocating for same sex marraige want to redefine it as a government sanctioned relationship. They is even a concerted movement to sue churches to force them to perform them.
Maybe you should stop thinking you know what you are talking about and actually open your eyes.
So what if 99.9999999% of the world population views marriage as a religious rite? Does that mean that atheists, agnostics, and nonbelievers can't get married?
The people who are advocating same sex marriage just want equality under the Law. I tell you what: you want to keep your dictionary with its traditional definition of marriage, and when you talk about marriage you can tell those listening that you personally define it as between a man and a woman, and we'll just change the Law so that it treats all people equally. You can keep your definition. And your conspiracy theories.
