I don't know that I can agree with you entirely. I don't want the word marriage forced on you and your partner any more than I want the term denied to your relationship if you so choose.

This is another situation where the individuals involved should be able to decide how they want to live their lives and in what terms they want to describe it. It is none of my business, nor the government's, nor the right wing supposed Christians' business to decide for you. I respect your decision concerning your life, but I also believe that another couple should have the right to call their relationship a marriage IF they so choose. I guess my libertarian streak rears its ugly head yet again. :-)
