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?

I agree with you...if it's the word "marriage" that everyone is stuck on...do away with it. But I have a feeling that the word isn't the only hold up. It's those close-minded people that can't get past feeling comforable living next door to a couple of the same sex because they feel that the couple being together period is "morally" wrong.

Pro homosexual marriage, why do different men and women care what you do. Love is love. I am a christian however nonetheless the federal government has no correct to let you know that you just are not able to marry the character who you like.
