Who would have thought that changing a single pair of gender pronouns to gender neutral ones would be so beyond the intellectual reach of so many christians?
To be clear, the definition of marriage hasn't changed, only the subject attributions have. In the same way that the mechanics of, say, voting didn't change when additional people were allowed to vote, the mechanics of marriage also haven't changed, nor were they ever what was under discussion. You can actually change individual elements of a thing, without scrapping the entire definition and rebuilding it from scratch into something necessarily completely different from what it was before, and it's completely ridiculous for you to assert that.
