You seem to be saying, that since it is a legal institution, that that one cannot be denied that “right” even if they do not qualify for it by definition. We just change the definition, so that no one is descriminated against. If you oppose, then your a hateful bigot!
Are you arguing that equal treatment under the law isn't a right? That marriage isn't a legal institution? That the definitions of words should never change?
I can't keep up any more what with you and Steve shifting the argument every few posts.

To be able to trailer a wide load is a legal institution? The most you have is recently-speaking, the government likes to keep records.
Intentional obtuseness. It's ok Steve. I didn't expect any better from you.

You've got nothing except the latest definition, that you like the best, that shouldn't be changed even though the language we speak isn't a dead language and definitions change all the time. Talk about building your house on a foundation of sand.
I was responding to your argument, it making one. Also your claim that I misrepresented you. So I would ask again how?
