Uhh, okay? If they're happy with their relationship I think that's fine? However, it's still wrong and they shouldn't show off to public like it's the right thing to do.
Holding hand and staying together, that's still okay but marriage? No no no... You two have gone too far.

I completely get what they were trying to say about the deeper meaning of loving someone as they are vs. for their gender.
But only if you think "lesbian" is a special loaded word speaking to one's fundamental identity, instead of just meaning "a girl who loves a girl" (and, so far, no boys), does the existential pondering over the term make sense. And so, as someone who happens to know a fair number of lesbians for whom this is not particularly a defining trait of their existence (I've also known people ) I'm just like, "uh, yeah, duh, you are lesbians...?" and find myself laughing at the ending.
That said, it's always possible something is lost in translation here; I don't know the implications of the word they were using in Japanese. On top of that, I do get that it's not so easy to think it's not such a big deal in Japan, unlike where I live / the circles I travel in.
@amZa: Bad troll, go away, stop being homophobic in public like it's the right thing to do.
