Marriage comes with legal ramifications at this point that in some states civil unions do not provide. The talking points of marriage being a Christian invention are pretty revisionist at at best, but I am willing to believe you are simply uninformed.
Also, early translations of the Bible do not support it being against homosexuality, but rather feminine males who cut their beards. Still pretty bigoted and surrounded by prohibitions of mixed fabrics and shellfish though.
Also, please refrain from using burner accounts and botted upvotes in the future for your concern trolling.
Edit: autocorrect is awful
Interesting you used the word "evolve". So in theory you're fine with the concept of marriage "evolving" between Judaism to Christianity, but it then it has to stop "evolving"? Why? Shouldn't a concept like marriage be continuously evolving since what marriage entails continues to change over the course of humanity.
Another arguement is all the social and legal perks that marriage provides. Why would you deny this to people on the basis of how they have consenting sex with eachother? This creates a tier system where some relationships have more value than others for completely unjustifiable reasons.
