>>Based on experience, "homophobe" is a name used to brand those not supportive of changing the long-established definition of marriage by judicial fiat.<<

Brumar -

It's not just a question of changing the definition by judicial fiat, since the issue has been on ballots in many states, and is again on the ballot this time, in Colorado.

So actually, homophobes are against changing the definition by a democratic process, too.

I still haven't figured out how gay marriage is a threat to anybody, though. It wouldn't be compulsory. It wouldn't stop heterosexuals from getting married. I keep hearing that we need to defend the institution of marriage, but I don't see how expanding it would really harm it.
