simple, because like i said the HONEST answer to the name change would be so the gays couldnt have it OR to hush up the antigay crowd.
A humorous example I like to give is what if when Obama won we decided we wont be calling him the president any more because that word is sacred and we need to protect its sanctity, from now one its the CEO of America because we dont want a black guy to ever be the president of the united states?
Congrats Mr. Obama/ Mrs Clinton! you won! uhm listen, see the thing is we aren’t going to call you the President, see well, uhm , you are half black/a woman and we just cant call you THE PRESIDENT, that’s a “sacred" word based on MY opinion, even though we have used it for all others we are going to change it NOW, we are going to call you aaaaaah . . . . uhm . . . The CEO if the United States of America, yeah thats it.
Now mind you, you'll still have the same "full rights/privileges" and powers and decisions to make has the president we just cant call you that or use that word anymore because of you.
I understand what you are saying, from here on out everybody would be called the same but I think its a huge slap in the face of gays because everyone would know why it was changed. And it would be so people could continue discriminating. No thanks.
