This is just another assault on the meaning of language.

To call this pairing of same-sex partners as a “marriage” is to diminish and demean the original meaning of the term.

Marriage has become a strange sort of contract, most of which is unwritten, except as interpreted by case law. It has evolved from a sworn vow, repeated before religious authority, into an activity licensed and sort of sanctioned by the secular government.

There is a formal contract, called “civil union” which carries none of the blessings of a formal religion, but in most jurisdictions, has the terms all spelled out and down in print, of which the partners involved have been informed of the intent. This is perfectly adequate for purposes of establishing rights of inheritance, property ownership, and entering into other contracts as a unit, or for tax purposes.

There is no logical or legal reason to pursue the renaming of “civil unions” as “marriage”, except as a way to show how much influence can be bought or imposed by a very determined minority.

homosexuals... are mentally sick.

Yes they are. Not to long ago homosexuality was a recognized mental disease.

It still is. The disease hasn't changed a bit. The queers are working hard every day to change our perception of the disease:

To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preference the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games: she likes strawberry and I like vanilla; he follows baseball and I follow football. No big deal.

At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full "appreciation" or "understanding" of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing, with a shrug of their shoulders, then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won. And to get to shoulder-shrug stage, gays as a class must cease to appear mysterious, alien, loathsome and contrary. A large-scale media campaign will be required in order to change the image of gays in America.

That was written in 1987. It has been a long road for them. Source.
