O...k...I don't really see what the point of using the current legal definition is, when the debate is about what the legal definition SHOULD be. We know what it is and we believe it should be changed. Didn't you get that?
So when it changes to allow same sex marriage, the definition will stop referring to gender/sexuality and will just say something like 'two consenting adults'. Will you agree with it? If not, then you've no right to use the current definition as your argument. As I said, legal definitions evolve and change all the time.
