A couple of points:

1. This is a really interesting line of argument that one could use with an apologist for sodomite unions. It points out in a novel fashion that there are some things that are simply axiomatic and attempts to change the definition to facilitate "feelings" have a rippling effect. (Not that leftists who support ludicrous innovations like the ability of two men or two women being "married" would be able to grasp it...)
2. When you look at it, this is just an outgrowth of the modernistic philosophy of "vital immanence" so eloquently discussed by St Pius X in his Encyclical Letter Pascendi. For those not familiar, "vital immanence" is the idea where religion arises purely from within man himself, deriving all its credibility and force from man's own personal experience as its source. Religion essentially arises from an inner sentiment in the heart of man, and this sentiment is not only where the modernists locate faith, it is also where they locate revelation itself. Further, this is also the origin of the divine reality itself, God, for God is the object and the giver of revelation; the revelation of God consists in that religious sentiment, God revealing and God revealed. Thus, in a sense, man himself turns out to be the creator of religion, of religious truth, of God Himself, rather than being the discoverer of it all.

Rom 1:26-32. Abandon God and the current popular moral desert is the natural outcome.

If people are conditioned to rely on the civil authorities to define marriage for them, then a certain % will just always accept anything the state puts forth as marriage. After all, to the state in the modern era all it has ever been is a civil contract that can be broken and resumed with the state’s permission and between any parties the state currently allows for.

I have used this type of argument before. For example, if I decided that I consider myself to be John Wayne, and dress like John Wayne, and adopt John Wayne's characteristic walk and speech pattern, will I be accepted as John Wayne, or will I be treated like a loon? However, if I decided I am really a woman and started wearing a dress, I would meet with total acceptance.

“Yes, you have a right to happiness, but that does not include a right to own this without paying for it.

And his whole argument pops like a balloon.

We do not have a right to happiness. We have a right to pursue happiness.

Big difference.

Like one pastor said, “We don’t break God’s commands, we break ourselves against them”. Along the way, some of these broken sexual deviants will be convicted by the Holy Spirit and see their need of Jesus. He saves “to the uttermost” those who come to God through Him!
