It is quite ludicros that this is being called a “Civil Rights” issue.
It’s a definition issue.
Since the founding of this country the definition of Marriage has been the matrimony of man and wife.
No one that I have heard or read about is advocating that it be deemed illegal for one to do in the privacy of their own home what they want.
However since it has always been recognized that “marriage” is only applicable to a male/female relationship it has always been recognized that one who prefers a different type of relationship cannot be “married” just as a chair cannot be called a table because a chair is a chair and a table is a table.
A marriage is the matrimony of man to woman.
It is not discrimination to say homosexuals cannot be married it is simply the facts the term “marriage” does not, and has never been used to describe their relationship as such it is impossible to call them married.
Now some people are saying that we must “redefine” marriage.
That means take the term marriage and change it’s accepted definition.
I personally do not feel it within my power to change the definition of a word.
