Why? Because I want to refine our language and you are on a mission to needlessly blur the lines? Look....if two men want to form a union, they certainly can. It is not mine to judge and never has been. But if two men want to then be called two monkeys, two oranges, or two anything that we already have a word for, I would respectfully ask them to PICK ANOTHER WORD! The one you want already means something else. It's neither hateful or disrespectful. It's simply more accurate. Drop the PC nonsense.

While it’s possible to hyphenate words and insert adjectives you’re better off using a distinct word wherever possible. That’s why we don’t call every vegetable simply ‘vegetable’. We use a distinct word for corn, peppers, etc. It isn’t complicated and shouldn’t be controversial. 15 hours ago, SoCal Deek said: Why?

You're pretending that there are fundamental differences between heterosexual and homosexual marriages. There aren't, especially legally. Case closed.

If they just follow the Bill of rights then people can marry who they want. Things based on religious beliefs have no business in law and government has no business or authority in religion or stopping people from practicing their religion. The marriage they fight over is an institution of man not God. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding your viewpoint but because you believe something is right or wrong makes you moral ideology, it doesn't make what's moral or immoral. This society allowed took part in slavery and genocide. How moral is that. So if the majority thinks Rape and Murder are ok then does that make those things moral. True morality is based on if it harm's another person. Please explain how a same sex couple getting married harm's another person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't certain because of the humor involved. That's why the disclaimer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
