Marriage by defination is the union of man and woman under god.
No, marriage is by definition the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship. It's older and broader than Christianity or any modern religion.
Also same sex marriages are nothing new. Emperor Nero was wedded twice to other men. Besides ancient Rome, there historical knowledge of such marriages in ancient Greece and other parts of Europe, ancient Mesopotamia, and in some regions of China.
Modern religions defined sex and marriage to themselves as only means of procreation and enforced such ideas throughout the middle ages but that's all they did and thankfully in modern ages we went back to separate church and state and civil marriage has nothing to do with a god or a religion but rather recognition by the state and society of a union partnership and the family basis.
