I think that an important difference is the name. You may scoff, but it seems quite clear that reserving the name of "marriage" for heterosexual unions clearly seems to be very important to religious bigots of the body politic. > > In my mind, this is at minimum a very salient *legal* difference, > especially given the current reliance upon "equal protection" grounds of > the current pro homosexual marriage arguments I have seen. In my mind, this is at minimum a very salient *moral* difference, especially given the current reliance upon "stoning to death" grounds of the current bible thumping religious bigots I have seen. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
