I have never heard of this process sublimation. But it seems that it cannot be solid and and gaseous at the same time. It just has no liquid state in between. 

As for the rest of my argument, I'll just let Thomas Sowell argue it for me.

" Marriage has existed for centuries and, until recent times, it has always meant a union between a man and a woman. Over those centuries, a vast array of laws has grown up, all based on circumstances that arise in unions between a man and a woman.

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that law has not been based on logic but on experience. To apply a mountain of laws based specifically on experience with relations between a man and a woman to a different relationship where sex differences are not involved would be like applying the rules of baseball to football. "

There is more, and if you disagree, you can send your arguments to Thomas.

Well boiling water isn't liquid and gaseous at the same time.  It's liquid until it turns gaseous.  In sublimation, it's solid until it turns gaseous.  My point is that you say that gay marriage is as ridiculous a concept as boiling ice is; and yet here we have ice turning into steam.  "There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

As for Tommy Boy, I guess he didn't get the bad news about Rome.  "The first recorded use of the word "marriage" for same-sex couples occurs during the Roman Empire. A number of marriages are recorded to have taken place during this period. ^[12] In the year 342, the Christian emperors Constantius and Constans declared same-sex marriage to be illegal.^[13]"  (sez Wikipedia)

Apparently Greece, China, and Africa have all had gay marriage to some extent as well. 

I'm debating you, not Thomas.  If you can't think for yourself, feel free to email him yourself for a rebuttal to my post that he can give you to give me.
