But your social institution holds no legal standing.... I'm straight, I'm married (twice). If David decides that he wants to commit to his partner, call it what ever you like, it has absolutely no bearing in any way shape or form what so ever on my commitment to my wife, it doesn't lessen it, it doesn't cheapen it. nothing, zero, zilch, nada. And there's no conceivable logical argument otherwise.
The only thing that should have any bearing is that piece of paper that we signed, which is a legally binding agreement to co-habitate. This is bigotry plain and simple in a very thinly disguised wrapper.
