We really should stop calling it “gay marriage”. There is no such thing. It’s a contradiction in terms, since marriage is only between a man and a woman. Christians and conservatives should all refuse to use this terminology. By changing the meaning of commonly understood terms (that have not changed in meaning for thousands of years), we are giving the enemy a huge advantage and foothold. Every cultural change toward evil always begins by changing the language. his has been well understood and well documented. The battle is largely over when the culture at large accepts the new meaning.

I did not mean to imply that you use that nomenclature. It almost seems to me that you have avoided acquiescence with your language. If so, I applaud that.
I am just making a general statement about how the devil is, and always has, worked. CS Lewis has written a lot about these techniques.

William, I do not use that term, but for different reasons than you stated. I simply think it is inaccurate. “Gay” is often used to refer to sexual orientation (sexual desires). When it comes to marriage, sexual orientation is irrelevant. What is relevant to marriage is gender. Two people of the opposite sex can get married even if one or both have a homosexual orientation (indeed, this often happens in the case where one person has a homosexual orientation). So the issue is same-sex marriage, not gay marriage.

I think that “Same-sex marriage” is an oxymoron. The term should not be used, IMO, unless we wish to help make the illicit behavioural choices more acceptable.
I agree that gender is the only relevant fact defining what a marriage is. ‘Orientation’ is utterly subjective, a behavioural choice, and almost completely driven by the culture, especially pop entertainment and media. It’s sadly also taught ever earlier in government schools.

You’re right that we shouldn’t call it gay marriage. It’s just marriage. Whether a man and a woman, a man and a man, or a woman and a woman do it.

I go out to eat with my gay friends, we just eat, we don’t gay eat.
