Thoughts on the US Supreme Court Hearing Abt Same-Sex Marriage?

[tinpra]

The supreme court hears cases on same-sex marriage today, to determine whether California's Prop 8 and the Fed's Defense of Marriage Act are constitutional. Listening to detractors of both on news radio (but curiously no supporters) say over & over that same-sex couples should have the same right marry made me wonder if we, people, have the right to change what the word, and consequently the institution of, marriage means.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts, if you have any.

"Disclaimer": I support traditional marriage. I also support open discussion.
