Consummate: to complete (a marriage) by the first act of sexual intercourse
Intercourse: sexual relations, esp. coital relations
Coitus: sexual intercourse, esp. between male and female humans; copulation
Based on the above definitions, it is impossible to define marriage as anything other than between heterosexuals. Yes, I am deeply offended by the passing of gay marriages/civil unions, and it has nothing to do with religion or politics. It has everything to do with the fact that what my husband and myself share, along with millions of other husband and wife couples, is no longer something special. I cannot really explain my feelings on this the way that I would like to, partially because I am so outraged over all theses "special people" (not only gays) getting all these "special rights" -- hijacking every issue and making it about THEM, going above and beyond to take full advantage of the overly politically correct state of mind that has shamefully come to be in this country! Whether it be bans on peanut butter or legalization of gay marriage, or trying to take the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance, things have spun out of control.
Anyone can marry now -- it is no longer a big deal. The one thing we had that was ours and it is being taken away. Can't people leave well enough alone? Gays want acceptance - they got it. They wanted a SEPARATE school in NY - they got it. Now they want marriage?! Someone needs to draw the line!
