“Redefined” refers to the purpose, structure, and norms of marriage. In most jurisdictions, marriage is a sexually complimentary union that binds men and women exclusively and permanently to each other and to any kids they may have. Same-sex marriage turns the institution into a public affirmation of a consensual personal relationship.

For starters, this redefinition does exactly what Gessen says it does: Make other redefinitions equally “inevitable.” To quote Hawaii’s US District Court on Jackson v. Abercrombie, “Once the link between marriage and procreation is taken away, and encouraging a socially desirable family structure is deemed irrational, there is no rational limiting principle for other types of relationships.”

Everybody, here's the history of the government always intervening in the tradition of marriage. When the time the Black Codes were past by liberal democrats, blacks weren't even allowed to get married at all. In the 1960's, one of the things that Martin Luther King Jr. fought for was the government stop intervening the tradition of marriage and that blacks didn't need permeation from the state to marry white's or non blacks. Now the Government is telling us to redefine marriage.

A popular slippery slope fallacy among opponents of SSM is that "if homosexuals marry, what's to stop a person from marrying their dog or even an object?" Animals and objects are physically incapable of consent. There is no reason to restrict polygamy, but again, that has nothing to do with the issue at hand, regardless of "limiting principles". Also, a hetero marriage is not the only "socially desirable" form of family - many more factors come into play than the parents' sexual orientation.

This isn't my opinion, this is the opinion of the French populace. 53% support gay marriage and 72% oppose the protests. Also, "culture" has nothing to do with law. Legally, marriage is heterosexual in some Western countries and includes gay marriages in others. Marriage is not being "redefined"- have a look in Webster or chat with a lexicographer. Marriage is not inherently religious in nature and never has been. Marriage was not a Christian sacrament until the 12th century AD.

No it isn't. You can do that without marriage. Marriage is a ritual, based on Adam and Eve in Genesis, wherein a man and a woman are joined and made one flesh by a monotheistic creator God, and in honor of *that* , remain faithful to each other. Why would two men or two women, especially non-Christians, care about that?! Especially since the premise involves the assertion that said God hates homoerotic stuff? And isn't the point of an alternative lifestyle to be unconventional? Why then embrace the most conventional of conventions? The goal of gay marriage is clearly not fidelity, you can have that without the ritual; the goal is to defile and destroy the particular monotheistic ritual. Why not come up with your own thing instead? Some kind of secular union? Or pagan? Or Satanic? Anything but Christian or Jewish, with which is it innately incompatible. You have religious liberty, use it. Why deliberately insult and undermine someone else's belief system?

Removing restrictions on a contract does not necessarily allow for additional unrelated restrictions to be removed. Monogamy refers to the number of spouses in a marriage, SSM refers to the sex of the spouses in a marriage. That said, I am in no way opposed to polygamy, which has existed for thousands of years alongside heterosexual and homosexual marriage (yes, you read that right).

Gay 'marriage' is a violation of the principle of separation of Church and State. And the violation is by the State. The people always going on about separation of Church and State are always up in arms over something. They are the same people cheering gay 'marriage'. Think about that.

Justice Sotomayor said the same thing: “If you say that marriage is a fundamental right, what State restrictions could ever exist?.... I can accept that the State has probably an overbearing interest on protecting a child until they're of age to marry, but what's left?” If your claim is that this is a slippery slope logical fallacy, you need to explain what the “rational limiting principle for other types of relationships” is; otherwise, there isn't one.

Similar to no-fault divorce, sociological damage from SSM doesn’t come directly from changing marriage laws; it comes from laws changing marriage culture, what people think of marriage. SS couples are inherently not procreative, so if marriage no longer reflects an innate ability to form one’s own family, society will dissociate one’s own family from marriage. In other words, as SSM advocate E.J. Graff puts it, SSM “cut[s] the link between sex and diapers.”

Exactly, the state is only involved in 'protections' so to regulate the contract of marriage and breaches of marriage in divorce. This was originally to prevent women becoming destitute and left to rely on state welfare after divorce by unscrupluous men. The actual marriage is still a religious function, even if you have no religious people performing it. It is the same marriage.

Sexually complimentary meaning procreation is possible. Procreation has nothing, inherently, to do with marriage, and thus sexually complimentary partners are not necessary. Attempting to link the two adds a section to the definition of marriage (a union between spouses of either sex as per Webster, Oxford, etc.) to add to the definition rather than leave it be. Perceived cultural values, I'm afraid, do not direct public policy.

True, OS couples aren’t denied marriage because binding men and women to each other and their kids would be difficult otherwise.

The government is not allowing anyone to get married. They get married and the government gets involved after the fact to protect people from breaches of the marriage contract and in the event of divorce creating disadvantaged parties. They do licence who can perform marriages so that they are performed properly and not leave either party contractually disadvantaged or unaware of the seriousness of what marriage implies. Perhaps it is you who should take the civics class.

Not all OS couples have kids, but kids benefit most when raised by their biological parents. No study using large, random samples [preferably with controls for economic class and genetics] confirms another family configuration as equal to biological parents.

Why do suppose exclusivity and permanence are marriage norms? Strong emotions like romantic love aren't limited to one person and they tend not to last forever. Kids, however, benefit most from being raised by their married biological parents [see: "Marriage from a Child's Perspective"] and kids are expected to outlive their parents. Hence, marriage is not primarily about strong emotions; it's about binding men and women to each other and to their kids 'til death do them part.
