It looks they were "carrying on" just fine. But now that they are able to legally marry, they are taking advantage of the opportunity.

But why do we need to redefine marriage to accommodate homosexuals when they can enjoy their bizarre lifestyle quite happily without it?

Meanwhile polygamists and bestialists are unable to marry their partner(s).

Because it is their marriage and their marriage doesn't affect yours or anyone else's one iota.

Because there is nothing inherently in the word "marriage" that excludes gays.

Not if you redefine the word marriage, then there's nothing inherent in the word that excludes bestialists, siblings, polygamists or guys who have sex with patio furniture.

If sibling marriage was legal tomorrow that wouldn't affect my marriage either.

If bestial marriage was legal tomorrow that wouldn't affect my marriage either.

If arranged marriages to 10-year olds was legal tomorrow that wouldn't affect my marriage either.

If heroin were legalised that wouldn't affect me either.

Since when did not caring about anything make us a better society?

Try to stay on topic we are talking about a lesbian couple that has been committed for the past 55 years.
