The ‘man and woman’ thing goes back a little further than the ‘British sense of what is right’.
The Jews had it in the Torah long before the Bible was written.
But the Greeks, Romans and a number of other civilisations didn't follow that belief ..... I doubt it was the Jews that influenced the British, but they were the ones who wrote the bible so are you saying the British aren't or have never been influenced by the Jewish writing in the bible? .....

Not saying that at all, Terry. Just that it pre-dates the Bible. And remember, Jesus was Jewish, and the majority of those of his followers who wrote the books of the Bible were also brought up in the Jewish faith. They just recognised Jesus as the Messiah, which Orthodox Jews refused to do.
So getting back to my original point, the principle of marriage being between a man and a woman goes back way further than your contention that it is a social construct of the British.
BTW, the current society — based on Christian values — has lasted far longer than those you quoted in support of same-sex marriage. Not sure if it’s causal or correlation.
That’s for others to argue. I just find it interesting.
The Egyptian civilisation lasted quite a while… I wonder what they thought of it.
