What gives homosexuals this right to "adjust" the meaning of the word marriage as if they owned it if no one else seems to have this same right?

Religion And Giving: More Religious States Give More To Charity


Who said it was an either/or proposition?
From your link:

"Churches are among the organizations counted as charities by the study".

Giving to a church is not the same as giving to charity. Especially if those churches then use that money for political purposes.

Gays can never be married...they can only pretend to have an arrangement something like a marriage. Ive already shown in this forum that within the English language, no Country, no Law can create a legally binding recognition of marriage between two of the same sex...no attorney could not successfully argue....it doesn't matter , within the English language there is no such thing as two guys married or...two women or girls (Iguess... ( what a freaked out world (mamma mia what did you get me into

Gays are married and will continue to marry. Get over it.

44% of heterosexual men and 36% of heterosexual women engage in anal sex.
Only about 60% of gay men engage in anal sex.

In pure numbers, that's a heck of a lot more heterosexuals having anal sex than gay men - given that gay men are only a tiny percentage of the population.

Your obsession with anal sex is disturbing...

sheesh...you got quite a bit of explaining to do I'd say.

They don't.

Marriage equality is about civil rights.

Perhaps she supports the rights of gay people because people like you want to treat them as 2nd class citizens... or worse?

There are many gay and lesbian couples who are already married. What century (or planet) do you think you are in?

Black's Law Dictionary:

marriage, n. (Bc) 1. The legal union of a couple as spouses. - The essentials of a valid marriage are (1) parties legally capable of contracting to marry, (2) mutual consent or agreement, and (3) an actual contracting in the form prescribed by law. Marriage has important consequences in many areas of the law, such as torts, criminal law, evidence, debtor-creditor relations, property, and contracts.

-Black’s Law Dictionary Ninth Edition 2009 Pg 1059
