Agreed. They want the word to have a definition. Many people say "I think whether you're gay or straight, you should be able to (and already are able to?) will your estate to whomever you please. I'm happy for companies to pay for health coverage for their employees, spouse, boyfriend, or whoever else they want. I simply don't want to change the definition of the word 'marriage'".
I don't happen to agree with those people, but I think I understand their point of view. I happen to support gay marriage, though I do have some concerns that gay "marriage" could be like "medical" marijuana. 99% of the time, there's nothing medical about marijuana, people just like getting stoned. I think we need to take marriage MORE seriously, not less, so I would support a bill that said anyone can get married, there is a three month waiting period, and some sort of penalty for divorce, so people - gay or straight - take marriage seriously.
