I try not to think about it but they keep asking us don't they? “What do you think about gay marriage?” Huh? I don't worry about it. “...but the definition." They ask. "Do you believe marriage should be between a man and a woman?” It's not? I go look in a Dictionary. It's a book, one of many the Right refuse to read. Now you don't even need to go to your bookshelf or in the Right's case go to a friend's bookshelf. It's real easy thanks to “dictionary.com”. It says:
mar·riage
n.
1
a The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife.
b The state of being married; wedlock.
c A common-law marriage.
d A union between two persons having the customary but usually not the legal force of marriage: a same-sex marriage.
2 A wedding.
3 A close union: “the most successful marriage of beauty and blood in mainstream comics” (Lloyd Rose).
4 Games. The combination of the king and queen of the same suit, as in pinochle.
They get the 1 sub “a” definition on the top of the list. Not bad, eh? That's like getting the top rank “I'm feeling lucky” in “Google”. It's better then d sub 4: “The combination of the king and queen of the same suit, as in pinochle.” or 4: “beauty and blood in comics”.
Is that it? Are we all good with it?
Great.
What next? For extra credit, try looking in the dictionary for the definition of “constitution”.
-g.
