Lets find another term for man/man woman/woman since so many people are up in arms over this subject.
I agree, but I really don’t want to create a separate institution. Then we have to write a new set of laws, and if they don’t provide identical rights to marriages then we have a bunch of lawsuits about it. It also opens up discrimination lawsuits where civil unions aren’t treated the same as marriage. If it is identical then we are calling a duck a pig, just because we don’t like the name duck. It would probably be best to have the state just call everything a civil union and leave marriages to the church. However, the second best option is to just call everything marriage so we don’t have to set up a separate but equal institution.
