But your "equal right" by definition requires inequality. Their's doesn't. The gay community wants something the straight community has. People like you don't want them to have it. You WANT inequality. They WANT equality.

Are any of those realistic outcomes? Are you sincerely actually worried about any of that? If not - who cares.

Like I said in my previous post, the homosexual community needs to come up with their own term. Think Coke and Pepsi, essentially the exact same product, but you cannot work for both at the same time.

But why? Why do you care? It's just a frickin word. It has NO impact on you. Fart - make up your own new word for straight marriage and you can have that one. Win-win.

I believe that homosexuals, the homosexual community, trans-gendered people, and almost anything else most especially deserve equal rights, in Canada, in 2008.
Using the term "marriage" to describe a union is a heterosexual term.
What would happen if the next rally call was we couldn't call them gay? At some point there has to be labels and boundaries!

Does there? Why? Can't we just try to continually improve?
