Oh and women who thnik of sex as a duty, but not a pleasure.

It changed the meaning of marriage beyond a husband and his wife for purposes excluding procreation.
Marriage laws that allow for same-sex marriage do not change the meaning of the word 'marriage'; they reflect a change in that society's view of marriage. The meaning is descriptive, not prescriptive.

Not married, are ya?
The truth is that it isn't a terrible idea to grant marriages and families tax incentives because having stable families does tend to have a positive effect on society in general so I don't mind encouraging that.
I do mind not granting those rights to specific groups of people.
