Re: The trouble is
I didn't mean what I said as a separate-but-equal thing and (if I'm reading the other people I'm talking to correctly) they don't either. I actually agree that their shouldn't be one term for heterosexuals and another for homosexuals. Rather, the suggestion I keep hearing is that the same word be used for same-sex and different-sex unions by the state, but that this word be something other than marriage.
I said that as a bit of an encouragement on a dark day. (See my recent post on prop8 if you like - I'm very discouraged by it, too.) I am trying to believe that people aren't so very far apart as they might seem and that, through dialogue, we can make steps forward very soon.
