Should pro-gay-marriage advocates organize a boycott of dictionaries and other reference materials?

The Autodidact Jedi asked:


I was just reading my dictionary, and for marriage it says:

the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments;

the legal or religious ceremony that formalizes the decision of a man and woman to live as husband and wife;

the formal declaration or contract by which act a man and a woman join in wedlock.

Obviously Webster must be a bigot. Are *** activists planning a boycott yet? Will it include all reference materials, or just the “tough parts”?
Kyle - what are you talking about?? Moses married a Cushite thousands of years ago. Where do you do your research?
While I’m thinking about it…Boaz married a Moabite, David a Hittite, Rahab was a Canaanite….I could go on
Kyle - Regardless, I am not seeing that in the dictionary. You are missing my point I think. I just want to make sure I am not referencing bigot materials. Do I need to throw out my dictionary or what?
