The problem with this guys argument is that he links love and marriage are codependent entities. Love does not require marriage and obviously marriage does not require love

I don't normally respond to comments, but I feel I must.

What many people don't seem to understand or remember is the following: Marriage has been around since before recorded history. One obvious reason for it was the creation of offspring, but a far more important reason for marriage was the cementing of alliances. Difficulties abounded in the ancient world, and the more allies you had the safer you were. Marriages were the preferred method for sealing alliances between families, clans, tribes, and ultimately nations

The "call it anything but marriage" argument reminds me of the separate but equal doctrine used to justify racial segregation.

If the bond between your parents (or anyone else for that matter), is really special, then nothing anyone else does is going to change that unique and special bond in any way shape or form. That is like saying your Dad would suddenly stop loving your mom because a gay couple got married in a different state

Jason and I both agree:
We would totally marry Keith.
