Not really. A couple could be married in a religious ceremony and then decide later that they are atheist. Are we then supposed to strip them of the marriage title? That would put government in the business of enforcing religious protocol.why should non religious people have a religious title, marriage? this puts a huge hole in your belief that homosexuals should also not enjoy this title, as you admit the title is not religious only
Its not at all the same with queers, since its obvious from the outset that they are not a normal couple.
Like it or not, marriage has always been between a man and a woman. Sure history has example of one man and many wives, but that has proved detrimental to society. Time, trial and error has proven one definition works well. Its only common sense not to mess with that.
As with the Argumentum ad antiquitatem fallacy, its not always illogical. Even in structural engineering we have Codes that are based on historical precedence. And in societal laws we have hundreds of examples.
