Re: Federal judge strikes down Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage
Believe me - to the people who entered into "civil unions" before they could marry - it is NOT the same thing.
And no civil unions so far defined got them the same benefits, privileges and legal protections.
Exactly the same, yet one is not called marriage.
It shouldn't matter if they care about the "benefits, privileges, and legal protections" and not the word. But, as you showed, the word is what is important to you and gays.
The distinction is marriage never meant same sex.
You specifically said they are broken, that is different.
