Information isnt Advocacy
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.
Marriage already IS "government sanctioned" if you apply for a marriage license. There are TWO "institutions" of marriage, religious and secular. We are only fighting for the secular, we already have equal access to the religious.
No there is not concerted effort to sue churches. A church will NEVER, I say again, NEVER have to perform a marriage ceremony if it goes against the tenants of their faith.
