Originally posted by Luvian: Dave, let's not get into the details of this, but marriage is tied to religion. Most faith have no place for homosexuality, so they don't want to be tied to it in anyway, even with a word. To fix the problem of marriage, you would have to change those religions. That's why I suggest the community come up with a new title that would give the same benefits, without being based on religion. I don't know, call it bonding, life sentence, combining, anything but marriage, and then you might lose most of the opposition you have.

Pfft. The government is the one issuing marriage licenses. Tons of faiths would recognize gay couples. This isn't about forcing religions to marry gays... That would be absurd and unconstitutional. It's about the government recognizing gay couples.
