"Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham

[Mister Agenda]

What does it matter what it was called if it was a communal recognition of rightful union of two people? What do you suppose the word for that would be translated as?

Even back in whatever culture you might find a mention, the concept that it was different would still be clear. You cannot argue that traditional marriage was not one of the primary pillars of every culture. There is no argument that could be made that the few cultures that allowed open same-sex relationships viewed them on par with traditional marriage within the fabric of their society.

So what? How is that an argument to not allow them? You seem to be literally saying it shouldn't be allowed because gay people are a minority.
