QuoteWhile I have no problem with gays being given the same legal rights as a man and women couple, it still does not need to be called a marriage IMO anyway.
Why not?

I don't see anything in this thread by you that explains why you don't think a union between a gay couple should be called a marriage.

I don't see anything by anyone that explains why it SHOULD be called a marriage.

A marriage is the union of two individuals. A gay couple is two individuals.

You've just redefined the word to suit your own purposes. No one 20, 50, 100, 200 or 400 years ago would have used your definition.

No one 400 years ago would have used the definition of "voter" that we have today, either. But that doesn't mean that we should go back to the old one.
What I can't seem to get answered with any sense is WHY people want to have 'marriage' mean only between a man and a woman, and not just between two people. What effect does it have on you? Does it just not go along with your religious beliefs? You think homosexuality is gross? What is it?

Yeah but... 100 years ago it would have been common practice to describe most newly married couples as "gay".
Words change meaning, huh?

Indeed, but the accepted way is by evolution of the language, not hijacking of the language.

That reeks of the stench given off by the idea that when you approve of something, it's evolution and when you disapprove, it's hijacking.

Well, you may have summarized the Pro-8 argument there. I don't agree, but I expect that will be at the core of arguments defending Prop 8.
Good post. Thanks but, I have to argue one point. State SC's interpet law within the constitution that they are under. They can NOT intepet if the constutition of said state is constitutional. Only the USSC can do that.
In any event, the USSC will most likely have the final say.
