Gay marriage

[Coney]

tbh

So we can agree that they have the right to be married, even if they have nowhere for the foetus to gestate?

This is nothing to do with rights.

If women's votes were called votettes would you be outraged that they had a different name?
That would be ridiculous, you'd have the same rights, the words used and semantics of them are irrelevant.
Equality doesn't mean calling everything the same thing. We have actors and actresses, for example. I've never heard anyone say it should all be actor and the best actor Oscar should be for either gender.

Marriage has a clear and well understood meaning. There is no reason to change it.

I'm not outraged by the name. I'm not gay and I'm not religious, I'm looking at it from the outside. The majority of gay people aren't complaining either. The fact is - some members of the church are complaining because maybe some gay people want the right to call their civil partnership a marriage.

My points are/were: - No one group or person has the monopoly of the term 'marriage'. The other point is that - even if 'old fashioned' folk prefer things to stay the same (personally, next time one of those gets ill I think we should treat them with leeches not antibiotics) our culture denotes that we progress. You clearly believe the word 'marriage' is purely related to a man and a woman being married/living in matrimony - However, history doesn't uphold that view exclusively. Until the term is patented by somebody, why should somebody elses view or right to call themselves married be less important than your own?

Everybody should mind their own goddamned business.

In fact, I'm going to make it my business to make everyone mind their own business.
