Separate is not always unequal. I have a lengthy argument which states basically that a homosexual couple has no more right to be called "married" than I have to be called "female." No matter how much I complain and whine, all of my certificates and identities will say "male." The Mass. Court was dead wrong, just so you know. If the people of the state want to call it "marriage" that's fine, but it is NO MORE unconstitutional for them to call a hetero union a "marriage" and a homo union a "civil union" (which was what the legislature proposed) than it is for my government to call me "male" and someone with differing genetalia "female." Rights of fair and equal treatment under the law are one thing, but Nomenclature is not a fundamental right.
I just want to know if these marriages will still be valid a few years from now when the people of Massachussetts adopt a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
