"It may not be implied but nonetheless, exists. You are saying marriage is the exclusive domain of a hetro couple. is not different than requiring the separation of the races or requiring blacks to sit at the back of the bus. There is no rule of nature that requires such separation nor such exclusivity to marriage.",/i>

False. The domain is available the term identifies hetro couple cases.


Just as it once identified same race couples. The definition isn't fixed. In fact, its fluid.

"not different than requiring the separation of the races or requiring blacks to sit at the back of the bus.

No similarity exists at all. It is a false analogy.


No it isn't. You are setting up a definition that excludes certain people. That's discrimination in a democracy.

"There is no rule of nature that requires such separation nor such exclusivity to marriage."

"We are not talking about single people. We are talking about two women or two men who love each other and want to spend their lives together."

No we are not, we are talking about the meaning of the term marriage.


No, you took it one step further and added specificity to that meaning. You got into societal and cultural issues.

"They don't want to be straight.....

So?


Your accusation, not mine.

"they want to be married and they want that marriage recognized by the State."

If they want to be united they have the opportunity, no one is denying them that.


United as in a legally sanctioned marriage.

The term marriage defines a heterosexual couples union, not a gay union. The night sky is not pink with purple poka dots either.

And that definition is fluid, not fixed.
