90. Then make it all "marriage".
Edited on Mon Feb-05-07 12:47 AM by MJDuncan1982
Why must people read more into what one says?

If Edwards' position is to be acceptable to me, marriage should only be a religious term. Is his position the only acceptable position? Of course not.

They can all be "marriages" and I'd be similarly OK with it.

I'm simply pointing out how his position can be acceptable to me.

Edit: And who says a civil union is a downgrade? You. Marriage does have a religious element to me and I'm not religious so I may prefer to be in a civil union. And it wouldn't be that costly to change. One phrase stating that the word "marriage" is to be substituted with the words "civil union" would do the trick. You wouldn't have to rewrite the entire code of a particular state.
