G_Whiz about your idea of creating a second word for just homosexual "marriages", it sounds good and all but I could see that term, whatever it maybe, come to be considered a second class term. Homosexuals weren’t good enough to be married so they got “Insert term here”. Before long it could be come just another derogatory term for homosexual couples in the eyes of the “bible toting public”. If homosexual couples want equal treatment by the masses and for them to have respectability, at least legally, they are going to have to be able to say that they are married. Anything else would seem like a downgraded knock off of the term marriage for straight or “regular” people. Of course before that is going to happen, society as a whole needs to change the way we view things regarding sexual preference. Needless to say I don’t see that happening, especially in the South, anytime time soon.
