Re "Gay couples should find a new word," by Arlene Griffiths, Forum, Jan. 17:
From the Reader's Digest dictionary, copyright 1966, based on the Funk and Wagnalls Standard College Dictonary,
Marriage:
1. The state of being married ; a legal contract, entered into by a man and a woman, etc
2. The act of marrying, etc
3. Any close union.
Enough said, methinks
