Reply #135: But you're wrong. There aren't two. There's only one right now. [View All]

We just need to include the GLBT community in it. You keep saying there are two. Where are you talking about? There's marriage. The GLBT community is excluded in all but one state right now. So, we include them in it. Right now it's a state by state fight, but we fight it. Don't change the name and call it a civil union. I don't care that you're changing the constitution, or making it federal, or what have you. My beef with your suggestion is getting rid of the term marriage and handing it over to the religious. That's my fight with you, and yes, I do indeed have it. You're relegating all non-religious people both gay and straight to a second tier in our society. That's not right. That's the problem I have with what you're proposing. We may legally have the same rights, and that's a BIG if BTW, assuming all goes as planned, but socially we're relegated to a different group. Not acceptable. That's STILL wrong.

And you still gave in to the bigots. Connecticut has gay marriage now. Marriage, not civil unions. California may yet overturn prop 8, and if it doesn't now, it probably will in the future. The battle isn't over. Don't muck it up with your schemes that most of us don't want anyway.
