The only thing I can see that meaning is the Christian definition, and if that's what we're going by, what happened to separation of church and state? Civil unions? Haven't we already gone through this separate but equal thing? How in the world can you justify the belief that who we love determines whether or not we get equal rights?
We've got nearly half a country aligning themselves with a party of fear and hate.
