I'm not sure how this whole 'marriage' thing is even valid.I thought, by it's own definition of the word 'marriage', carried with it the caveat of 'consummation'. So until the newlyweds have sex, that means HE inserts HIS PENIS into HER VAGINA, they are not legally or formally married. I can't wait to hear how you get around this one? That is just another reason why you can't call it 'marriage'. It must be called something else. If we must accept this new paradigm, fine, but let's not mix things up.

Good Morning ALTRAV,

You may not realise it but "consumate" means to have
sexual intercourse - and there are more than just one
way to do this. I suggest that you talk to your
medical practitioner and have him/her explain all the
possibilities to you. Therefore your argument concerning
same-sex couples and their inability to consumate is
false.

cont'd ...

Hi ALTRAV,

It just occurred to me that religious nuns get married
into the church - how do they "consumate" their marriage?

foxy, no you can try to talk your way around this but it means a man and a woman and you know it does. And as for the nuns, the priests are gods representatives here on earth so the priests do the bidding on behalf of God. Have you ever asked yourself why nuns have these loose fitting/hanging 'habits'? Ever noticed they sometimes go off to a 'nuns retreat'. You put it all together as you seem to have a much more vivid imagination than most other commentors. I really would like your take on this one.

Actually, it doesn't, ALTRAV.

<<... [Consummate] means a man and a woman ...>>

Consummate:
Make (a marriage or relationship) complete by having sexual intercourse.

No mention there of biological sex. You're adding that bit in yourself.
