In 1775, the word "lunch" was defined as the amount of food one could hold in one's hand. Similarly, in past centuries, the definition of marriage was broad enough to include polygamy and many other relationships conservative Christians might now find distasteful. In some ancient civilizations, prostitution was legal. LGBTs wanting to marry suggests marriage is a popular institution, not about to fall to the wayside as unmarried couples (gay and/or straight) shack up together.
John Stuart Mill wrote, "The reason for legal intervention in favor of children apply not less strongly to the case of those unfortunate slaves— the animals." In his book, Christianity and the Rights of Animals, Reverend Andrew Linzey, an Anglican priest, notes that "In some ways, Christian thinking is already oriented in this direction. What is it that so appalls us about cruelty to children or oppression of the vulnerable, but that these things are betrayals of relationships of special care and special trust? Likewise, in the case of animals who are mostly defenseless before us."
