To the state marriage is simply whatever judges, pols or the voting majority thinks it is at any one time

Marriage between a man and a woman is a cornerstone for an orderly society. It creates stable family units and cannot be redefined at the whim of leftists. It is what it is and saying it is now something different doesn't make it right or true. "Let's pretend" does not stabilize society.

The state isn’t interested in stabilizing society, and deciding how to stabilize society isn’t how the state determines its definition of marriage. You can tell by the acceptance of no fault divorce and the growing state acceptance of ‘gay marriage.’
