I hear a lot of people saying they support everything but the name 'marriage'. So this whole argument is over a word? I don't get it. And before anyone re-expains that marrige is a religious term (I get the argument) I would say:
1. For many people it isn't a religious term. In fact many marriages aren't even done in church anymore. And how many religiously sanctioned marriages fail? I mean, some of them you can even tell that the whole 'religious aspect' meant nothing to them.
2. As we evolve, so must our terms. Theres no reason why a meaning of a word can't evolve.
3. There are a few churchs, and a religion or two that DOES allow gay marriages. Why must we always define things in the Christian or Christian/Catholic way?
