Quote:I guess you still don't get it. Change the legal document from a "marriage license" to a "civil union license" and it solves the whole problem which is the premise of this thread. If gay people want to call their civil union a marriage, then they are certainly free to do so, and at the same time, people can have a traditional marriage and call it the same. What don't you get?

Oh brother. You made a claim that both sides want ownership of the word so you presented a compromise of one side getting to own it!!!! Hurray all is fixed!!! Why don't the religious just change from marriage to purely matrimony. Or they can go with the civil union term if its so good. They are the ones that have a problem that sends them into a tizzy after all.


Or even better they can just get over it since it doesn't effect them at all.
