Oi.
A definition of a word in a dictionary is more important than giving people equal rights. I loved Rick Mercer's "traditional definition" sketch.. "traditionally, marriage was between a man and a woman - of the same race. Tradionally women were men's property. Traditionally sons of unmarried women were *******s and needed to be shunned. We need to keep these traditions sacred."
In related news, Brad Pitt has said he won't marie Angelina until the U.S. legalized same-sex marriages. He's no dummy; that's one way to avoid "the committment".
