this isn't just about being politically correct. a so-called gay marriage in the states where it's legal for all couples to wed and in the states where all marriages are recognized, is no different that so called straight marriages. The goal isn't to achieve gay marriage but to achieve marriage equality.

1. Mmm. You can almost tell which side of the fence....
... one is on simply by the name they put to the issue.

2. So true. We don't refer to rights like voting as "gay voting" or
"straight voting". It's just "the right to vote" or voting equality to use your phrase. Same should be said for marriage.

3. Agreed. The term, of course, is intended to be a lightning rod.
Conservatives and the media will never acknowledge marriage equality, because throwing around "gay marriage" makes them a lot of money.
