By what authority will people be able to take the word "marriage" out of the government's dictionary?
Not rip it out, redefine it. And that would come from a Congressional Bill to change "marriage licenses" to "civil union registrations." And pretty much leave them as they already are - a sworn affadavit by two people to be treated as a limited corporation for specific purposes by the government.
Because whether you realize it or not, that's what a government "marriage license" already is, and already does - ONLY.
And that's why I object to it being called "marriage," because it's not anything of the kind right now, without changing anything at all. So what I'm really arguing for is truth in advertising.
