swampy wrote: Gay "civil unions" are fine with me. Give them the same legal rights, but under a different definition such that it is a union between two people of the same sex, and "spouse" refers only to a person of the same sex who is a partner in the civil union.

There's no need to redefine my union of choice.

So the issue is one of language? If we defined "highway" to include what we now mean by "street," would this be a comparable situation for you?
