There are certain things I don't understand the debate about gay marriage.
To People who defend gay marriage: Why are stuck upon the word "marriage"? Isn't equal rights enough?
To people who oppose gay marriage: If you intention is to protect the institution of marriage, why are you opposed to giving gays equal rights?
This is my solution. Let's abandon the use of the term "marriage" by the government. As far as the state and law is concerned, the issues are legal and the term "domestic partnerships" or "unions" could be used for both homosexual and heterosexual marriages.
Each individual church/organization/group can have their own defnition of what marriage is, and of course others need not care about them at all.
What do you think?
