Fun fact: I don't want to lose my right to legal married status just so some religious people can own a word. They have no right to take that away from me in order to cement a superior position in society that they are not constitutionally entitled to in the first place. They have no right to demand exclusive access to that status for only those they approve of. Religion and the religious have no special right to shape our society, government, or law over everyone else. The medical and psychological evidence is in. Homosexuality is not a disease or mental damage. The sociological evidence is in. Children do just as well from same sex households. The legal precedents are in. Marriage is a fundamental right in this country, protected by the constitution. No one has the right to take that away, nor to demand destruction of that right because they don't get to exclusively control it anymore. The time for compromise is long past.
The reality that "marriage" is "between a man and a woman as husband and wife" has been such since just before
the agricultural revolution over 12,000 years ago, and has, understandably, remained such to this day.
Obviously, the reality of what marriage is -- between a man and a woman as husband and wife --
predates the Bible, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc.,
all religion, and was never a religious matter.
As to the rest of your inaccuracies, both transsexulity and homosexuality are
birth defects, without question, though that's neither here nor there with regard to marriage being "between a man and a woman as husband and wife".
And, it is most
crystal clear as I've documented multiple times in these recent threads that SS couples damage OS children's later adult romantic relationships due to aberrant romantic role-modeling by the SS parents for OS kids, romantic role-modeling that is
unconsciously inculcated and emerges dysfunctionally when those kids are adults.
In addition, kids of SS couples have a higher suicide rate and other psychopathologies, as I referenced in the other thread about the damage SS couples do to kids, referencing the current study that validates that reality.
Acceptance is really for the best.
