This is where our main difference lies, I think. I believe that the definition of marriage is static and that modern definitions stray from the proper definition. Societal norms should not affect the definition, although they are free by law to act against it.
Then the question ultimately becomes, why should your notion of marriage be the legally recognised one?
This is the definition of marriage. It is objective and unchangeable and hence the only legitimate institution worthy of being called marriage.
