I have to say that if DOMA is overturned this is going to be sort of a bizarre victory. Sure, gays can get married and that's great, but what do those who opposed gay marriage lose? Nothing. It's really anticlimactic, I tell you, so I propose that if gay marriage is recognized in all fifty states, all heterosexual marriages are rendered null and void immediately. Let's make this interesting: raise the stakes so that both parties have something concrete to lose.
While we're at it, then, let's also overturn dog-owners' also legitimate exlusion from allowing cat-owners to enter their cats in the dog-owners'
dog shows.
Dog-owners have nothing "concrete to lose".
They won't be pissed.

I'm constantly amazed at how pre-conceived ideologues just can't bring themselves to admit the
obvious reality about the intelligence, value, and legitimate grievance their opposition would most certainly suffer the loss of if the pre-conceived ideologues got their way.
It's the height of arrogance for pre-conceived ideologues to completely dismiss the very real losses suffered by their opposition as nothing "concrete to lose".

SS couples committed romantic relationships should be call
homarriage, because, by virtue of them being SS couples, it simply
isn't a
marriage.
Homarriage civil union domestic partnerships, like all types of these, will be fully recognized by the government and private enterprise.
The OS and SS distinction, a valid and necessary distinction, would be in the
name -- marriage v homarriage -- as each type of civil unioin domestic partnership needs a name to
accurately identify it, both for accurate usage now and modifications later that may
only apply to one of them.
It's the right win-win thing to do.
