You don't like the law changing a definition? Why don't you consider that getting married means more for gay people than your demands for it not to change?I don't take a position on the issue at all as it doesn't affect me. It was you who simplified the whole discussion to "equal rights" when it's not the case at all and then started discussing incest and bestiality.

Since they collect marriage license fees and extra tax from married couples, they should be behind it. Most politicians are lawyers and lawyers make a fortune during divorce proceedings.The laws on marriage were originally written to promote a population for a growing nation. Since same sex unions don't produce a population there was no point in considering them.
