Sam, I owe you an apology. It seems we are a hell of a lot closer in our opinions of this issue than I thought - and you even pointed it out earlier - I apologize.

Get the rights and to hell with the name. I cannot say with any certainty that the word 'marriage' offends gay people, but I can tell you that I have known quite a few gay couples in my life and everyone of them wanted to be able to legally say they are 'married' (In the civil sense, not the religious sense). On the surface it may not seem like a big deal to us, but to these people it was almost a way to validate them as humans, that they truly were equal. Yes, they could get 'civil unions', but to them, its just not the same, and I agree. Once again, separate but equal just does not work. -- Scott Stroz --------------- You can make things happen, you can watch things happen or you can wonder what the f*&k happened. - Cpt.
