You must travel in different circles in regards to this issue
.
However, the undercurrent of both of those arguments is that a homosexual pairing, regardless of gender, is unnatural and/or wrong. Those that hold that opinion, therefore, must hold a negative perspective on homosexuality in general. Therefore, they have to either fear it, or hate it, or both, to some degree. The arguments are emotionally based.
The argument about it being a man and a woman by definition is revisionist history (see Penn & Teller's BullSh*t about the Traditional Family). Marriage for romance is, historically speaking, a relatively recent development by and large. Besides, if the last 5 years have proven anything, its that words can easily be re-definied at the drop of a hat to mean something new.
