Quote:So just write it that way from now on. They don't have to waste resources on the old legislation since no one is going to take the words for their actual meanings anymore. The USCC already set that precedent.

 

It's merely more efficient. Instead of having terms for partners in an opposite sex marriage and another term for partners in a same sex marriage, they have a word that accurately describes the participants regardless of the situation.

 

Despite your obvious distaste for the SCOTUS ruling, those considering marriage a union between a man and a women surely know which is which. The same-sex couple's situation has no effect on them, anyway.
