As long as consenting adults are involved, it neither breaks my bones nor picks my pockets.

It takes a true Scotsman to define a true Scotsman? That's - well, it's a bit circular, innit?

It's symbolism. Everyone's a critic. It's a thread about sexual orientation, God forbid I bring the symbolism of marriage into the equation. I've heard that originally the middle finger was used, but after a few years of practical experience, women felt the now "ring finger" was a more realistic representation of potential expectations, for some it was the pinky.

I seem to remember someone with solutions for that predicament. The plan was doomed from the start. It was based on an argument raised by an Aussie who didn't care much for Jews, while working in Hollywood.

There are aspects of sexuality not directly linked to genitalia.

You would let a Frenchman define it?

So please don't make ignorant statements about it "always" being between a man and a woman, because you show that wonderful Texas education when you do.
traditionally marriage has been between a man and a woman, and yes there have been times when homosexual marriage was approved by the state, but those states had their downfall shortly after wards. for instance where is the roman empire today? or the greek empire? how are those caananites doing as a country? native americans rule what? china is still around though as is africa, but how about homosexual marriage there?
