Quote:Can you explain what I said that makes one side own it?  Did I not say that both sides are free to call a civil union whatever they want?  Please be specific.

I take it back as I misread what you posted. However, I do not understand the point in changing the name because let's be honest this is not about a word. No, it is about people not wanting to allow two men or women to get married based on beliefs. It is as simple as that. They are still getting married whether you change the name or not and that is what people are upset about. In addition you would be sending the message that marriage is now only a religious thing. What's the point in that other than to appease only some of the people that are anti gay marriage?
