Well seeing as it's not marriage I'm against it. However if the people want to make up something like "same sex union of love" and give them all the legal benefits and stuff of a married couple then whatever.
English
-
They already have that, it's called a domestic partnership. Separate but equal, isn't equal.
-
Only in some states. Not all states allow domestic partnerships/civil unions
-
I know, I'm just saying that if people are still unhappy with domestic partnership, that should say something.
-
If it has all the same rights and legal benefits of marriage, why call it something else?
-
why call 2 2 if you can call it 1 since they're both real numbers?
-
But those aren't the same. It's like calling 2 "two" and "five minus 3." It's entirely pointless to call it something else.
-
and marriage and domestic partnership aren't the same either so what's your point?
-
But if people advocate for giving gay marriage a different name but all the same things as hetero marriage, why do they need a different name at all?
-
Ok so I guess I'm not getting through to you so lets try this. If two things are different but have the same or similar benefits (ex. working at McDonalds vs Burger King) then they aren't the same thing no matter what.
-
Marriage is marriage, though.
-
ok I'm glad you can define a word with itself
-
I call that, "Do what you want, just don't call it that, because I can't share." Why not call it marriage, as it is on equal footing with a man and a woman marriage legally and legitimately?
-
and I call it one step towards not destroying the definition of marriage.
-
Marriage is a social contract between two (or more) consenting members of legal age. Why does having two penises there destroy that definition?

Edited by Marinade: 11/8/2014 9:04:00 PMThat happened long ago. Since it's no longer acceptable to buy a bride that would suggest the definition of marriage has already been changed. Divorce would likely be a bigger destruction to the definition of marriage as it removed the until death part. It stopped marriage from being permanent declaration of love to being something that is just let's try this out and see how it goes. Marriage is now nothing more than a more expensive version of moving in with someone. Same sex marriage won't do anything to it.
