Equal Rights
To all you gay marriage supporters out there who think you are being denied your rights...knock it off. You have equal rights. I, as a straight male, can marry a female. You, as a gay male, can also marry a female. Should you choose not to marry a female, that's fine for you. If you choose to "marry" a male...I'm sorry, but, you can't. And neither can I!!! That sounds quite equal to me.
To take it a step further, the gay union thing just doesn't qualify as marriage. Marriage has a definition and that is (according to Merriam-Webster):
the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law
Now, you can call your relationship a same-sex union. You can call it a civil partnership. You can even call it a qdfsretjdk, for all I care. Just don't call it marriage. We already have a meaning for that word.
Do your own thing, but leave our flippin' language alone.
