Reply #10: No, my point, though made as an attempt at humor, is that marriage should be the word for [View All]

everyone. This is about equal rights, not semantics. No one had to change millenia of language usuage or the kinds of liccneses the city or town issued for my hetero marriage. We don't have to do that when members of the GLBT community marry each other either. If we do, it's like saying "This is so hideous, we had to change the language we've been using forever, for feck's sake."

Churches already have "Holy Matrimony" anyway; and the state has no business in mucking around with what is "Holy" and what isn't anyway. Let the marriage license remain the marriage license and separate church and state. That is what is supposed to happen in this country anyway. We have gone way to far in allowing religion to control secular law.
