There is no limit to what can be included in a definition if you generalize it enough.

After all why stop with two people? Why not just say two living beings? The example that someone posted earlier about a man marrying his dog for instance. Even if you just limit it to human beings it says nothing about their respective ages, or even if both of them are alive.

What the pro-gay marriage is asking is for us to extend the definition of marriage ONLY to the degree THEY want, but no further, at least not yet. They're like the driver who drives 5mph above the speed limit but will block anyone from passing him because he feels breaking the speed limit is ok but only to the degree he personally is comfortable with.

Marriage is a union between a man and a woman, not too men or two women or a man and a corpse, and I will continue to oppose any and all attempts to expand that definition beyond it's original meaning.
