It appears that the last major holdout in dictionary acceptance of a secondary definition of the word "marriage" is The Oxford English Dictionary. Whereas the Merriam-Webster Dictionary added a secondary definition of marriage in 2003 with little notice or threats of boycott: "the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage."
A draft definition is floating around at Oxford.
When I see the young women at my daughter's women-only college, I realize, it's just a matter of time. Let the older generation die out, because these young women were always out, never wasted a moment of insecurity on wondering why they are who they are. Why some of these women have more self confidence at 20 than I had at 45!
That human beings want intimacy, desire closeness in which to live and nurture, why is that so hard to accept?
