you know, if they would just agree to calling it something other than marriage, they would have had the "rights" they seek a long time ago.

civil unions could give them everything they want, and most would agree to that, but using the word marriage puts a whole new spin on things and that is what makes it offensive to most.

Their demand to use the word marriage is what causes me to belive they are trying to force acceptance to their relationship.
