Same-Sex Marriage

Just to be certain, I looked up marriage in my venerable Webster's and at the online dictionary.com to find, as I suspected, even dictionaries define it as being a condition involving opposite sexes. I wondered how many dictionaries exist. An Amazon search restricted just to English dictionaries yielded 15,248 entries! I know there are multiple editions from the same companies, but still that's a great amount of publishing to change if American law changes the definition to include same-sex unions. Foreign publishers of their language-to-English would have to change entries. It would be easier, and less expensive, to just change our minds!
