Both of these ideas—divorce makes marriage a sham anyway and why shouldn’t people who love each other be able to get married regardless of gender—are missing the real point.
Marriage is a life-long union of a man and a woman. Anything other than that is simply not marriage.
You can call a dictatorship a democracy but it’s still not a democracy. You can call a drink without gin and vermouth a martini but it’s still not a martini.
