Now that Proposition 8 has passed (dammit)...
and similar laws in other states did, too…
Would you join me in an effort to turn all legal marriage into civil unions (or some other generally agreed upon term)? If the damn word “marraige” is so freaking important to the religious right, why don’t we just let them have it? If all legal contracts pertaining to romantic partnerships were called something else, the word would eventually lose it’s power and meaning. Marriage would come to mean a strictly religious ceremony, with no legal rights tied to it.
Note that I do not mean to imply something separate but equal. I mean all of us, gay or straight, would have the same name for our legally sanctioned life partnerships.
Also, how would we go about getting it done?
