You will be hard pressed to ever get calling it anything other than what it is. In the way I saw it, by calling it something other than what it is would be insulting and telling gays that they could be allowed this personal partnership but were not good enough or equal enough to be able to get married. And with the mindset of the hypocrites, that is exactly how they would see it. I happen to believe that they are just as good as anyone else and if they want to get a marriage license they should be able to and call it a marriage license. Anything less is insulting, imo.

Either you stand for something completely or you don't and by changing what is to something else to satisfy the hypocrites, indicates that you were willing to settle and I am not willing to settle. It is all or it is nothing. Get done, get it done at one time and move on and stop this dragging things on for years and years to gain an inch. Take the whole damn mile and be done with it.
