For the last time, I am not suggesting homosexuals be treated differently.

I even edited this to quote myself, to point out that you obviously didn't actually read my post but instead looked for the first snippet of a chance of rebuttle. And while it wasnt bad (I do agree with some, and I'll get to that in a minute,) I must add the quotes that you forgot to:

If they're gay, then it would be the same word as I have been alluding to. Its not meant to be derogatory.

Its not different in any way, shape, or form except for the title of the institution (ie, not marriage, but something else).

No problem, and they will be treated completely equal in their union that is not titled as a "marriage."

If black people wanted to be called white people, there is no way it would fly. If we all decided that the colors were wrong and blue was suddenly green, it doesn't work. Again I say, there has to be at some point a label to distinguish one from another, and boundaries to detail said.

Again I say, its not meant to be derogatory.

Marriage is not a heterosexual term it not a homosexual term either, it’s on expression of love and union, everyone should have the right to it.

As much as I don't agree, I really respect this last passage a lot. I wish my own shortcomings didn't blind me as much as they do sometimes.
