He might have been expressing homophobia, but that's not the only
possible interpretation of his words. He might have meant ""marriage was
ONLY something between a man and a man". Such a redefinition would
indeed cause a great deal of confusion (for instance, my wife would be
quite surprised to learn that she wasn't actually married), and as such
would be a good example of the problem he's talking about.
