Reply #4: I don't understand why this has to be made more complicated than it is [View All]

Why change all this country's marriage laws and create a new institution called "civil union" when all we have to do is keep our existing laws but change the part where it says "one man and one woman" to "two consenting adults." This doesn't have to be a big complicated change.

And frankly I hate how religious people think they own the word marriage. My husband and I are married. We got married in a civil ceremony. I like the word "married" and I want to keep it. If some religious folks want a word that is specficially religious to describe what kind of family set-up they like, then they can create their own word, maybe "goddled" or something, and then they'll own it and can use it for whomever they want.
