A caller to a talk show this morning suggested that gay "marriages" should be given a different name than marriage. That way marriage, as it has been defined for millennia, will not cease to exist.

He suggested "Barriage," I think. (My radio's reception was poor.)

How about Gayrriage?

Many words and phrases have been coined to represent societal changes of the past decades ("Ms.," "mail carrier," "chairperson," "flight attendant," etc.)

I don't think gays have the right to call a homosexual union a marriage any more than a man has the right to say he is "female" on his driver's license.

"Marriage" is already the union of a man and a woman...

A new word should be coined for homosexual unions. (Harriage?)
