Traditionalists are getting caught up on a word.



My uncle, although in favour of offering equal rights to gay couples in adamantly against calling same-sex marriages a marriage.

He said to me in a recent email, 'If you called it a ''civil union'' then I would be content.'

Separate but equal is not equality, and it is NOT good enough.

"Pretty much" meeting the requirements of a minority group has NEVER been good enough and it never will be.

Every citizen should be accorded equal treatment under the law.

This is incredibly similar to the segregation of African-Americans and White Americans in the 1960s.

'You can use a toilet, just not the same one as us.'

Thoughts and advice?
