The definition of marriage can be very different for many people.
A lot of no people seem to view marriage as being one thing, and this attempt to create equality regarding marriage meaning that the fabric of what people believe about marriage is being attacked/changed. Now whether or not it needs to change is a different debate, but in an effort to appease these people, shouldn't we label it something other than Marriage, apply the same rights, such as a civil union, rather than marriage, and then move on with our lives??
I can't agree with that Thry. Marriage is defined in law and that legal definition is all that will change. People's beliefs about marriage need not change at all.
