I hear why people feel its discrimination but it's just not sinking in. I don't see the word or document of marriage as a right, I see all that comes with it a right but not the title or document itself. It's strictly an emotional limitation.
Like I said I'm not against it, I just don't see it as a worthwhile fight. The real fight is to get equality in civil unions nationwide first. Once that's achieved you can worry about what the bond is called. The real question was, is this a religious attack or societal? I think in some states it is religious but not the entire country.
