I'm all for gay couples having all the same rights as married people (including paying more taxes if both are wage earners), I just wish they'd find another name for gay unions. We could use this name for all civil unions. From a legal standpoint, the word "marriage" would apply to religious ceremonies uniting a couple, while a different word would apply to civil ceremonies.
Percy, this reminds me of the slogan "seperate but equal" the racist bastards used to use. Sorry, but it is not going to work. There will always be bastards that will find loopholes to make the "seperate but equal" not equal for everyone.
I just don't understand why people won't see that we are facing the same damn problem with the civil rights movement. Yes, I agree that gays aren't drinking from different drinking fountain and all of that, but a gay man can't legally claim that his "spouse" is in the emergency room or whatever occasion that is convenient to have a spouse. This is making me mad. People should open their eyes and see that the governator and his conservative blood sucking republicans aren't gods in this matter.
Either give us the same rights or open up concentration camps. I don't want anything in between.
