Why shouldn't people have the right to redefine something that grew to be wrong and oppressive to a whole other group of people? If anything, using the word "redefine" is definitely the wrong word to apply in this situation. It's not about redefining, it's about FIXING; fixing the original concept of marriage that disregard those who were gay.

A good refutation, if the argument was about poly amorous relationships.

"That's just how it is defined".

Marriage: the state of being united as spouses in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law

(link: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/marriage#usage-1) )

No where in the definition does it say "marriage is only between a man and woman". Marriage is a partnership between two people.

However, I do agree with part of your first statement: "There is no 'straight marriage' it's just marriage". Which I would believe is right. There is no straight marriage nor is their gay marriage, at the end of the day it should just be marriage; which is between two people that reach a consensus of having a partnership.

"Unnatural sexual orientation"? Okay.

If people from the start of the establishment of the Americas had been open to the idea of loving anyone you want there wouldn't be a stigma against the homosexual preference that in turn results in it becoming a so called "unnatural sexual orientation".

Sexual orientation in general should not be anywhere near considered "unnatural". Love, one of the main factors that is in relation to sexual orientation, has no definition in the dictionary that says "love, to be only between two people of different genders". Love can be between anyone and everyone.

Hogwash, the constitution was written many years ago, a time where being anything but of the heterosexual preference was alienated and oppressed. Considering this fact, then of course the constitution wouldn't have legalized gay marriage. If the people that were creating the constitution were in fact against the gays, then it is only common sense that it wouldn't be legalized. However, currently that is not the case. There are more than an abundance of pro same sex marriage politicians: Rob Portman, Lisa Murkowski, etc. Therefore, using your reasoning, same sex marriage should be legal.

In addition, to whom would it harm if same sex marriage would become legal? It is heartbreaking to know that same sex marriage needed a fight in order for it to have been legal. Just like marriage between heterosexuals, the marriage between homosexuals should have been automatically legalized. Having marriage between the same sex hurts no one but the sacredly religious people that still believe the centuries old belief that god "hated the gays".
