I wonder how many are fake?
Anyway any opposite petition would attract a million, but not be as effective. lol
Considering a few billion people could access that website I personally consider 65,000 to be a drop in the bucket.
Give an inch and they want a mile. The present definition is too broad already.
Boy! The left leaves nothing undone. They even pressure a dictionary. This attention to detail is why they are usually victorious and in almost total control. The left has worked long and hard to reach the top. They captured all major institutions such as schools, churches, goverment offices, the media. This process of capturing institutions took them years. We, the conservatives, have nothing like this organization and drive. The left moves like a choreographed ballet.
So 0.02% of the population has spoken. I’m certainly persuaded.
science by petition, dictionary by petition, justice by petition.
truly ass-headedness is a pox over this country.
I just voted against is fifteen times. All you have to do is clear your cookies.
Hey! What about animals? They need love too. What about inanimate objects?
I feel offended because I'm not allowed to marry my Corvette.
“The present definition is too broad already.” ???????????????
The definition of marriage will one day need modification to include more three or more “partners.”
I take comfort in the fact that 65 million Americans will never use a dictionary anyway (even an online one).
“Marriage” isn’t a word someone normally needs to look up in the dictionary; their activism will win them nothing.
Reminds me of the South Park episode when the town wanted to change the definition of the word “fag” to mean annoying Harley riders.

you can "sign" it as many times as you like. It is easy to use iMacros, etc., to generate thousands of signatures in just a few hours. Change.org is a fraud.
Wow, 65,000 signatures? With that kind of overwhelming support, how could they possibly refuse?
(Is a /sarc tag REALLY necessary here?)
The animal rights groups are next.
Why not? Go ahead and marry your car. A man in Korea married his pillow.
Now what state would allow that...California maybe?
How very postmodern of them!

How very postmodern of them!
The world has gone ass-headed.
Of course. The Bolshevik politburo, on the eve of the October Revolution, argued all night long about what to rename the ministries after they took them over the next morning.
George Orwell noticed this use of language as mind-control by the Communists. He also noticed their deliberate imprecision and fuzziness when they were smearing (and shooting ) people during the Spanish Civil War, in which he had enlisted on the side of the Republicans. The behavior of the Communists turned Orwell against the Left and made him a stickler for clear language, once he discovered how the Left routinely lies 1000 ways from Sunday -- including by the imprecise use of language.
So, sure, Communists and Leftists generally try to get control of words, as levers on people's minds.
