   Merriam-Webster: marriage: (2) the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage

Foul ball (counts as Strike one). You are using the term “marriage” to mean “traditional marriage”, which has the definition you are looking for.

Speaking of changing definitions-- I wonder how old that definition is!

   Encarta: marriage: 1. legal relationship between spouses: a legally recognized relationship, established by a civil or religious ceremony, between two people who intend to live together as sexual and domestic partners

Strike two. But then, Encarta is part of the Evil Empire (no definitions under marriage for Encarta mention either man or woman).

Okay, can’t you see how wrong and biased that is! Astonishing! (Evil indeed;-)

   Devil’s: Marriage: The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two.

Saved! Kinda...sorta....so, you are the Devil’s Advocate? :-)

You green-eyed bigot! :-) Why do you draw the limit at 2???

Indeed.

   How do you feel about brothers wedding each other?

Not my cup of tea.

   How about a father, his adult daughter and adult son?

Hmm... Not my cup of tea either (I think my daughter has more sense than that)

   How about mom, Oedipus and Fido?

Not my cup of tea either (my mom had issues, and we never had a very handsome dog) If you can get informed consent from Fido, though, go ahead.

   How can one argue against such unions while being in favor of same-sex marriages?

I give up. How can you? I certainly can’t, and don’t.
