Topic: Gay marriage
Quote: Or another example of how denying homosexuals access access to anything but the same legal institutions as heterosexuals will never result in equality. The domestic partner registry just isn't sufficient; why would anyone think that creating a similar marriage-substitute will be equal?
Response: There\'s nothing magical in the word "marriage." Just because one is called that doesn\'t mean it\'s any more legally superior than a "marriage substitute" (as you call it). \nSplenda may not be called "sugar", but at the end of the day (or should I say the morning) it still does just as good of a job sweetening the coffee. They\'re both sweetners. Why should we change the composition of sugar just so you can say the sweetner-composition YOU want is termed \'sugar?\'
