You're a broken record. Women being treated like property or polygamy does not negate the fact that marriage, defined as union between man and women is truth historically. Let me reiterate this for the 15th time the argument is not the dynamics of marriage (inequality, or whatever else.) but the historical understanding that it's precisely between a male and a female.
Even the cultures that had common place homosexuality had the definition i'm using. Pointing to crazy Nero or some other anecdotal "proof" that marriage was actually also between same sexes and accepted is nonsense. You can't point to .001% of historical marriages being between same sexes and say well actually marriage also meant this. It's very easy to find outliers in thousands of years of history. Outliers do not define conventional meaning and understanding for 99.99% of people.
"If we ignore facts, you'll see I am correct."
lol you can't make this shit up.
Nearly every society outside of those based on the Abrahamic religions had non-heterosexual marriage.
This isn't just a few isolated cases. These are tribes and societies ranging from the Roman Empire to Native Americans to Buddhists in Thailand.
Just because you're willfully ignorant of those groups doesn't mean the rest of us are.
