It's like you are looking at an object that is green and arguing that it's blue.

From my perspective, it's like we're looking at an object and you're saying it's green and I'm saying, 'I don't support calling that green. Let's call it bloogey.'

If you want to stand by the 'separate and distinct' statement, tell me how they are separate and distinct?

Shalom.

If you'll call it bloogey, then I support that 100%. The problem is that you are looking at one thing, then calling it something else that ALREADY has a meaning.

My particular point on this issue and many others is that WORDS HAVE MEANINGS and we shouldn't randomly reassign the meanings of words just because we think it's nice to do so.

I'm not arguing the pluses and minuses of gay unions. I'm saying that for hundreds of years marriage has meant the union of a man and a woman for the purpose of starting a family together, and I don't want that long-standing definition to be watered down by "new English".

Words have meanings.
