To each their own. It does not bother me except perhaps using the naming convention "marriage". I'm on the fence about it as the historical, social, and religous meanings for thousands of years define it as a union of man & woman. I think "marriage" should be reserved for man & wife but I think SSCs (same sex couples - how's that for an acronym
) can have something comparable but using perhaps a different name. I believe a lot in our constitution and our constitution does afford SSCs the same rights & priveledges allowed by all and they should, by the constitution, be allowed to make a legal, couple, binding but perhaps under a different name?. I really have not thought this all through as I have bigger things on my plate locally than thinking globally...
