... they should make up their own term instead of marriage to describe their sexual titillation of one another that has acquired similar property ownership rights as marriage.
Why?
Also, by your denegration of marriages between two men as mere "sexual titillation of one another" are you claming that two men don't or can't form lasting relationships with each other that are satisfying in all the ways any other committed relationship is?
Finally, how does what other people call their marriages affect you in any way?

They cannot continue their genetic line through the union so it is not the same, hence it needs its own term other than marriage.

Marriage is a word, you can't just "decide" its meaning and then apply it to everyone else. Another group of people has to call their union something else because you think they're yucky? Get over yourself. Words are relative, the meaning you put on on a word is not universal. and that whole "marriage is for procreation" thing is bullsh** too, old people, the infertile, blah blah blah. Quit trying to make your viewpoint logical, because it's only logical from YOUR viewpoint, not a impartial one.

What about Married couples who cannot have children to continue their "genetic line through the Union"...
What's their Marriage called?

A good try, and a trip to the doctor to see if it can be fixed.

Haha! I love it. Like its cut-and-dry and set in stone like that. They need to use a different word for their unions because marriage has a specific definition to me and they're not allowed to use my word. Man, I can't even imagine having so little empathy that you can just make blanket statements like that without choking on your own hypocrisy. Why don't you just say "Cause thats the way it is," or "It ain't natural." all those have about as much reasoning behind them as what you're saying.

See, that doesn't work if the heterosexual couple is past the age of conceiving, does it? My grandmother remarried her second husband when she was 69. I suppose you want to tell her that it wasn't a marriage?

marriage is a financial institute, not a breeding institute, not a religious institute.
banning x minority from the same financial rights as anyone else is illegal and intolerant.
if you think marriage is a religious institute, then we would have to pick one religion over another. if it is a christian institute then married women would be nothing more than cattle according to the bible.

You know TINfoilTP, this works both ways. "Technically" the word marriage means "combining" or "Coming together." I can marry a electrical plug with an outlet without needing a priest, but your holy union requires one. So why can't you just call your marriages "Holy Unions," or even better, "Kiddushin," the original word for marriage-before-god and leave the regular old "marriage" to the unholy ones?

Sorry, a specific group of people can't appropriate and decide the "actual" definition of something, no matter how self-serving or deluded they are. That's why nobody agrees with what you're saying, because it's not true. It might be true for you, but the rest of us don't have to follow your rules.
