You say:
"Just because somebody changes the meaning of a word that I love to mean something vile and disgusting, like the word "screw", doesn't mean I have to stop saying it. Thong, thong, thong. Marriage, marriage marriage."
Could you explain what precisely is vile and disgusting about gay marrriage-- if that is, in fact, as it seems, your point?
Because I would beg to differ with you.
Plus, rskontos wasn't justifying gay marriage on the basis of the failures of heterosexual marriages, but merely pointing out that heterosexual marriage is not an ideal form. So setting it up as an idealized or idealizable norm and claiming that gay marriage is a falling away from this norm has no particular basis in reality.
