"Just as most older conservatives now acknowledge that they once erred in "keeping blacks in their place," they should make the same acknowledgement for gays and their right to marry, and live happy, open and contented lives in each other's arms."
"Fear that others may reject these apparently arbitrary moral boundaries, and hence question those who decreed them, and cause society to fall apart, is the reason for the conservatives' deep paranoia about the mythical "gay recruiting" and the equally mythical "gay agenda.""

OK, lets brain storm some better words. I’ve been thinking about your comment for a while about the need for better words.
Gay marriage rights could =
Special Marriage rights
Peculiar marriage rights
queer marriage rights:)
since they are asking for special, above and beyond normal. However the words marriage and rights are still in these phrases.
Non life giving marriage
unproductive marriage
barren marriage.
sterile marriage.
non breeding marriage
non prolific marriage
These rename Traditional Marriage.
True Marriage
Historically lawful marriage.
Help me people!!!!! Freepers are incredibly cleaver when it comes to words!
How about
Gay espousal
double meaning( spouse and to say something)
Gay alliance
Because they abuse themselves and others!
shouldn’t this be with the blogs?
BTW welcome to FreeRepublic.com
I don't want to even give them the word gay. That word was purloined several decades ago but let's be honest -- the original meaning of that word is never coming back. I can live with that. But I'll fight the gay lobby to the bitter end over the word "marriage."
Here's the phrase I always use: "Roommate Union." If two men or two women who share the same domicile wish to receive civil benefits comparable to a married couple, then I suggest they perform the paperwork and make it so. But it's not marriage: It's a civil "Roommate Union."
What say you?
No one is trying to deny these people their rights. It is more of a matter of stopping gays from stepping on the rights of religious institutions that do not support the gay life style.
It is wrong to force churches to accept something that they religiously believe is wrong.
I do support them to have “legal” marriages with the same rights as religiously married couples under mans law, but as for the definition of marriage as given by churches. Gays do not have the right to tell religious groups what they should believe or how they should conduct their beliefs.
Equal rights folks, not more rights than everyone else.
Roommate union and civil union are similar and something that most people are OK with.
Roommate Union or Civil Union instead of Gay Marriage.
Same Sex Marriage. Which then gives way to Same Sex Adoption, Same Sex Divorce, and Same Sex Spouse insurance coverage by all employers as well as teaching children to “respect” Same Sex Marriages.
So much for it being about adults or in private.
When does an adopted child consent to be brought up in an alternative sexuality household?
Equating civil rights which are based upon amoral characteristics (race, color) with the right to practice immorality is as confusing as homosexual marruage itself.
What God has placed (sexually) asunder, let no man put together. In no place does God sanctify homosexual relations which He explicitly does for heterosexuals. http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/homosexual_refuted.html
God has made man and women uniquely compatible and complementary, in more ways than just physical (though that the gas pump does not go in the exhaust pipe should be reason enough)
But America is in Romans 1, and (if you read it) is increasingly manifesting the effects described therein.
(Rom 1:29-32) “Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, {30} Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, {31} Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: {32} Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Freedom not Sodom!
There’s freedom in America, the land of the red white and blue;
but there still must be laws, things you just can’t do.
You can’t marry your sister, your brother, or the family pet;
a sheep, or a goat - at least not yet!
That how is it with homosexuality, what the Bible calls sodomy;
men lying with men as with women, is perversity!
That they’re not designed that way, tis easy to perceive,
but yielding to sinful desires, man is soon deceived.
A moral wrong is not a civil right; like the sin itself, that’s confusion;
calling evil good and exchanging light for darkness, is sure delusion!
History tells us where this will lead, from societies now in dust,
When a nation casts off the laws of God, and follows it’s own lusts.
Promoting a sin which sends one to Hell from an early grave,
dishonors God and robs man of the Life He gave.
There’s but one answer: the Risen Jesus gave Himself for our sins;
Repent and believe, then truly follow Him!

Gal. 6:18 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Rom. 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
1Cor. 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Interesting. I think that homosexual couples might find this picture offensive.
I admit I have no strong feelings about this topic. ‘Gay marriage’ poses no threat to my marriage. But I do have a question to ask of those who are crusading for ‘gay marriage.’ When ‘civil unions’ give you all the benefits of marriage, why do you insist on ‘marriage?’ Is there a logical reason? Or is it that you continue to seek heterosexual approval, even if it has to be in the legislature or in the courts?

An interesting discussion would be what would the liberals do if they could “help” a community like the Amish.
Or even make the rules for baseball?
Sodomy was originally the practice of homosexual prostitution in the Temple, and which allowance set the moral standard for the nation. Thus mere sanction by the State is not sufficient for the demonic spirits behind homosexuality, rather as the devil seeks to insult God and to defile that which is or was God’s, so universal sanction of homosexuality - which itself is an insult to the Creator - by churches - most preferably evangelicals ones - is the goal.
(Rev 18:2) “And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”
