States may be debating gay marriage. People may be voting on it. Tempers may be flaring on both sides of the issue. But society’s uncertainty hasn’t stopped the good liberals at Merriam Webster from defining marriage any damn way they want it defined.

The second definition of the word is now, “the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage.”

The old joke used to be, “Look up the word ugly in the dictionary and you’ll find a picture of Rosie.” Now if you look up marriage, you’ll find the same picture.
