This "using the word marriage the same way you do" crap pretends as if there is no established definition for the term--as if it can mean whatever anyone wants it to mean. That is pure B.S. It has a legal definition. It is a legal designation. Its validity depends upon legal sanction. Just like a corporation. Am I a corporation just by saying I am? Can I be married to my boss's wife by just saying I am?
I expect more from a law school valedictorian. Which law school by the way?

Many words have both legal definitions and other connotations, too. Their use of the word 'married' to describe their relationship simply doesn't meet the legal standards for 'fraud' (intentionally untrue, detrimental reliance, etc.) that take it outside the First Amendments bounds. Like I said, if you don't like it, don't watch, complain all you like, etc. But don't try to twist the First Amendment so that people can't describe their relationships how they like.
"I expect more from a law school valedictorian. Which law school by the way?" Northwestern. And your expectations aren't really my issue.
