Quote:I comprehend it, I just completely disagree. To change the term NOW, Because some have an issue with a term is, to me, completely ridiculous. Why now? Why change it all of a sudden now? Never before has the terminology been an issue. Also, it's not the term that's a problem, it's the act.

 

This is where you are wrong.  The term "marriage" when asked to presidential candidates is usually combined with the word(s) what do you believe.

 

Gays started "the fight" because they wanted "equality" under the law, you have even expressed that yourself.

 

So I propose a reasonable (I think) change to separate the social use of the term from the legal use of the term.  However, that's not good enough for your community and those that support your community.  What you are saying is that we should use the term "marriage" in legal documents and force it on the majority of the population.
