Some people get very attached to words, and the definition of words. These people--called conservatives--are quite skittish about change, you see. Status quo! Status quo! And the dictionary should be written in. . .no, better yet. . .on stone!
The words they get most irritated about are the ones taken by those eeevil homa-seck-shuls. "Gay" for instance has gone from meaning "happy" to meaning "godless fornicator." Conservatives can never again enjoy The Flintstones. And now that they've taken that perfectly lovely word, they've changed "marriage" too! Will it never end? Will the dictionary have to be (gasp!) revised for further expansions of word definitions? Madness!
Of course, they're not really irritated about word definitions. They're not even really bugged about an imagined threat to "marriage." They just don't like gay people. They'd rather we all just go away, or barring that, for us to go back in the closet, so they can pretend we don't exist. Good luck with that.
