When these kind of proposals are considered, I will then do more than laugh at those calling for a FMA to prohibit the marriage of a very tiny percentage of the population.

Again, your argument is simply that bad public policy justifies bad public policy. It is not an argument for redefining the word marriage.

You also mistake defeat for acquiesence. We lost the battle on no fault (bigger government won), the culture war continues.

As for your suggestions, sounds like a plan to me.

And as for your laughs, it is the same attitude I encountered many years ago when arguing that Roe and Doe would be a license to kill. That battle continues as well.

Marriage has been redefined innumerable times over the centuries, as has almost every other social institution.

Religious institutions can keep whatever definition of marriage they would like. They need perform no marriage which they find to be against their policies.
