A Question Of Sorts.

, i got rings and all

 

aww say yes martin your breaking his heart

 

You can only be rejected so many times....:rolleyes:

 

aww dont give up true love finds a way

 

i say no. its not fair that straight ppl are the only ppl eligable to recieve the coveted 'married' title. civil union sounds stupid. and it makes it sound less than marriage, like the 2cd best for us 2cd class citizens... even if it does give the same rights, its still not equality. i refuse to settle for less.

wow... i got a little angry there... lol

 

I think "civil union" was a phrase invented by politicians to get on the good side of everyone. In the UK it's a civil partnership...and when it was inforced all gay people were ecstatic because they had the same rights as heterosexual couples. The right wing was happy because it's still not "marriage".

Calling it a civil union is a good starting point but in the end I would only be happy if it was treated equally to a heterosexual union....name and all.

 

I love how off-topic we get...

 

I don't think it matters what you call it.
At this point, I see marriage (or civil unions) as a legal benefit. That's really about it. I mean, if I love someone, I don't need somebody else to gather everyone, and then verify that I love them.
I wish that love could just be, and not have to get defined.
This is why I don't care what you call it.
It's not important to me.
The idea is okay, like cementing your love for someone, or whatever, but I just don't believe in that. I think you should have enough faith in your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner/etc, to the point where you don't need an outside person to confirm it.
Just my thoughts.
I just care that I'd be getting the same benefits as any straight couple.

 

In addition to my other post, I agree with this'n.
