The important point is that its defined that way.
The abuse of power that the courts have engaged in - and which the activist SCOTUS is attempting to finalize - was to redefine the word to mean something it did not.
If language means nothing then the law falls.
They are the ones pushing it over the cliff.
And it has been defined that way, basically forever.
Now how the Supreme Court can think they can redefine the language is beyond me.
Call it civil unions, call it whatever the hell you want.
Give them all the cozy legal rights (which they can already do with power of attorney but don’t realize)...
But you cannot call it marriage.
