Well, this was sort of my point. In that case, you believe that the change in definition was for the worse. Fair enough (although, purely as an aside, the modern world would not exist if not for the invention of the corporation). So the objection is not simply to the idea of change to something that is important to you. Therefore, your objection to the inclusion of same sex marriage in the definition of marriage is not to the fact that marriage changed, it is to the fact that, you believe, it changed for the worse.
That brings us to the real question: why do you think marriage has changed for the worse? How has it been devalued by the inclusion of homosexuals? Is it because you believe that homosexuals are worse than heterosexuals?
