Have you ever heard anyone ever give a single 'coherent' reason to be against marriage equality?

46. As to your first point

From what I know of the subject, this statement is based on one individual's interpretation of some wall frescos that may or may not show two men marrying one another. Given the identification of monks and priests as "married to the church," or "married to Christ," I do not immediately assume that this interpretation is correct. It does present some food for thought, but if such marriage were common, one would expect that such memorials of them would also be common.

As to your point about property... my own knowledge of marriage customs around the world is certainly not comprehensive, but so far as I am aware, even in societies in which property is considerably less sacred than in ours, marriage is accompanied with some ceremony and celebration, and is always among units composing both sexes, in whatever configuration(s) may be acceptable in that culture. While your argument has elegance, it fails the test of experiment.
