The insistence in the face of the data about the NATURE of marriage despite OVERWHELMING evidence from history, culture, and science ought to alert perceptive persons that the real issue is not a definition of marriage but the intent to change by a few.
Really now, if enough people complain that day and night are not defined by data should we change them too? After all, we already have Daylight Savings Time as a law? Doesn't that tell us that day/night distinctions are open to interpretation and change? Shouldn't the sad cases of porphyria be cause to change the definitions? Where precisely and on what grounds would this line of argument ever be nonapplicable?
