That is my biggest issue with the whole thing. Once govenrment and society is allowed to change a definition most people have held sacred (or at the very least, incredibly important to them personally), the definition is up for grabs. It's too important a thing to let it change for any reason at all, no matter how good your intentions are.

Can you actually explain why it's "too important a thing to let change for any reason at all"?
I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with you, but to make such an extraordinary claim, there needs to be some sort of justification for it.
