Quote:
10. Obsolete. the formal declaration or contract by which act a man and a woman join in wedlock

@Lightwizard,
Alright, stop right there! Gays and lesbians are one thing but I won't put up with, for even a second, painting and poetry gettin' hitched!

@JTT,
Especially if it's painting and poetry that go together.

That's all the opposition of gay marriage want to do -- play their simpleminded semantics game to obfuscate and confuse. That's what judges are for -- to make clear that you can't make something against the law by using a clever, but flawed, manipulation of semantics. Of course, that leaves those gay friends I know and have known who start business that are partnerships or corporations where they are officers, making it just as contractual as a marriage fitting into the dictionary definition. Anybody know La Roche Laboratories? We do have to forgive naivety. Well, sometimes.

@Lightwizard,
What about paintings from MOBA (the Museum of Bad Art) and a bad poem from an arbitrary 90's bad poem site. Can there be a proper marriage?:

and this bad poem,
Quote:
Doh! Ray Mi
Doh! A sound made by Homer S.
Ray, a singer with the Kinks
My, with Lai, is in "Veet-Nam"
Fa goes with -La-La-La-La La-La La La.
Sow, a spread of grain on land.
Law, ignore at your own risk,
Tee, a shirt some wear in bed,
Now we're an octave above Doh!

@tsarstepan,
Laughing I can't quite see those going together. But, to each his own.

It is ironic that the religiously irreverent use the bible to deny homosexuals the right to marry where no where in the bible once is a marriage ceremony detailed on how it was to be performed... There is a mention of a canopy which no one really knows how that fits into marriage and also that a wife is a crown to her husband but few marriages depict a wife crowning her husband during the ceremony. Other than that there is zilch. If God felt that the marriage ceremony was so sacred a rite then why did God forget to include it in the umpteen pages of the Holy bible?

Comparing to homosexuals and their own sacred love to odd abstract art is just another masked insult from below the belt.

@RexRed,
It's all ritual cooked up by those companies who profit from weddings. They're chomping at the bit for gay marriage to get passed in the states they operate in.

As to bad art and poetry, I can post much worse and, the whole concept opens itself up to ridiculous metaphors or analogies.

There are several mentionings of marriage in the Bible.

I thought it was an attempt to get back up above the belt. As Oscar Wilde said, we all live in the gutter. Just some of us are looking at the stars.
