For example, in the case of one man multiple wives: were the women married to each other? NO. One person got married MULTIPLE times to the opposite sex. See the difference? No one screwed with the definition of marriage.
A corporation is only considered a person in the eyes of the law in certain circumstances. There is no one on the planet that things that a corporation is actually a person. Red Herring.
I disagree. The marriage between gays is a matter of law. That is all that is relevant. Whether *you* consider it to be a marriage is irrelevant as whether *you* consider a corporation to be a person.
The only question is whether gays should be allowed to enter into exactly the same legal agreements to have their bond legally recognized.
I understand that it is a matter of law that gays can get married. The definition still had to be changed for that to happen. There is a significant part of the populace who preferred to keep the 10,000 year old definition. Which brings me back to my point I have made over and over--opposing the change does not entail bigotry. Making that argument is impossible.
