Regarding the column “Gay marriage” by C.S. Pearce: I don't care who you are or what your credentials are. The Webster's (1979) definition of marriage is “the mutual relation of husband and wife. The institution whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family.”

This simply cannot happen with two people of the same sex because marriage involves sex between two opposite but equal-in-the-sight-of-God people!

Each partner brings something special and unique to the marriage that you just cannot get with two people of the same sex.

Two people of the same sex may wish to confer benefits to their partner, etc. There could be a legal contract. Call it something else, but don't call it marriage!

"... hereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence". Hmmm. I guess it no longer just one man and one woman, even in the Book of Webster. By the way, is Webster in the Old or New Testament?
