re: #293 Spare O’Lake
Right, and if all the nuts and bolts are agreed then what does it matter if you call it marriage or something else? That would be a very nice compromise if it was acceptable to gays and heteros.
If that’s the easiest way to guarantee the equal rights to same-sex couples, fine. But it’s pretty bizarre, and basically a concession to bigotry, to give different names to the exact same legal contract.
