Marriage: (re) defined
Many courts resort to the dictionary when trying to decide the "common meaning" of a word, including a word such as "marriage."
According to the online Merriam-Webster Dictionary here:
Note definition 1a(2): the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage <same-sex marriage>.
There is apparently some controversy, reported over at Pam's House Blend.
