What does it matter what they are called?dragonbait1November 7 2008, 20:08:30 UTC
So if civil unions had the EXACT same rights etc as marriage then why care what they call it? It's pointless to say "You can have a civil union but don't call yourself married." If a religion believes that being gay is wrong (and they don't preach or practice violence) that's within their First Amendment rights. I disagree with it, but that is MY right. If gay members want the church to change things that is an internal issue. As long as there are venues for them to be married, it's not my concern (As I don't belong to said church).
The Target analogy is faulty. It's more like if you worked for Best Buy, did a great job but flaunted the dress code (like an untucked t-shirt, shorts and sandals). Then say you wanted the company to change the dress code to accommodate you. So you petitioned the employees to support your bid to change management's mind.
Why have 2 legal "unions" that are the same except for the name? That's pointless. If the rights are the same, then just call it marriage. NOT everyone belongs to the same church, why should those rules apply to others?
