Just like to point out about StatCrux's 'definitions' of marriage (apologies if somebody else has already knocked this into a cocked hat):
The first one was the UK Law definition. A law is not the same as a definition. The definition of marriage is a union. That is literally what the word means. What the UK takes it to mean in a legal sense is irrelevant, and open to change. Once it does change (and it will), you will presumably disagree with their definition and I would guess no longer use it in any future debates to make your point. You can't use it now, in its current form, and then ignore it once it changes. We can ignore it altogether, though, which is my suggestion.
The second was from the Catholic Church. I hope I don't need to elaborate on the statement that their definition is likely to be somewhat less than unbiased. What's the point in using them as a source in this discussion? It's like defining evolution by what a creationist website says it is.
How embarrassing for you, bitch. Make me a sandwich.
