I guess, under the pretenses of the definition of marriage, I don't fully understand why homosexuals would want to get married in the first place.
I agree with you, but the point is, gays do want to get married.
Honestly, I don't understand why some heterosexuals have a problem with it. Atheists get married, so it's not a religious institution; it's pure homophobia, and by that I don't even mean hatred of homosexuals as the term is normally used, but real fear about the fact that homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted. If it's legal to be homosexual, what legitimate problem could you possibly have with allowing homosexuals to marry?
It's kind of silly, in my opinion. That's Christianity for ya.
So you say its not the norm, and it's an aberration but it's ok for the courts to sanction the marriage.
I never did say that. Total straw man.
You totally did say that.
Please point out where (before this post) I said that it's okay for the courts to sanction the marriage.
