Second, I don't think not calling civil unions of same sex couples marriage makes them 2nd class citizens. They can call themselves any damned thing they want. The issues should lay with the benefits married persons get with regards to tax breaks, insurance, etc. Some of those are issues that can be addressed in the corporate world - such as insurance, and some are already provided by our current laws - living wills, trusts, wills, beneficiaries, co-ownership, etc. There is still much to do. However, crying that poor little homosexuals can't call themselves married means about as much to me as poor little homosexuals running around calling themselves girls. If you want to talk about second class citizens, then lay it all on the table - I can't qualify for gov't money to make house repairs because I make too much money, I'm the wrong nationality/color, and I've always worked for a living; I don't get a tax break because I'm single, I can't park in the handicapped parking space even though I am ill, I don't get to cry racism when the black chick at the store disses me because she believes only white people can be racist; I can be fired, fined or sent to jail for saying something that a homosexual, fat, retarded, black, mexican, homosexual, bi-racial, and/or gender surgically altered person might find objectionable - but, I can be insulted all day long by the same cry babies because I'm white and it is all good. On top of that, I've been listening to the liberal/Democrat/nut tards whine, moan and groan for so freaking long when they don't do anything to help, just undermine the GD country with their neverending bellyaching, I really would give up my pacifist ways just to slug one in the mouth just once even though it means I'll have to beat myself with a whip and wear a hair shirt for 6 months as pennance. Now, that is how I feel about it. How you feel about it may differ.
