"Marriage, by definition, is between a man and a woman." By whose definition Johnny?
The Macquarie Dictionary (Revised Edition, 1981):
marriage, n.
- the legal union of a man with a woman for life; state or condition of being married; the legal relation of spouses to each other; wedlock.
- the legal of religious ceremony that sanctions or formalises the decision of a man and woman to live as husband and wife.
- any intimate union.
John Howard is, it seems, correct. At least as far as the first two definitions go. I expect the third would be read in the context of the preceding ones. So, by definition, marriage is between a man and a woman.
