Re: Marriage and Civil Union

manfromv:

If same sex peolple want to live together and have all the rights and prviledges, that is ok with me. But if they insist in using the term MARIAGE to describe their union, that is the part that I am object to. Because the term MARIAGE is really very special to many people who do not want to change its meaning. Why create this disharmony in society among people if this problem can be solved by creating a new term such as civil union having all the rights and responsibilities as MARIAGE. This is my case.

It is called equality, if you choose to define marraige with your narrow christion beliefs that is your choice, but do not let your beleifs effect the lives of others. The Constitution says all men (and women) are created equal. The Courts have repeatedly confirmed seperate but equal is not really equal.
