Massachusetts high court declared Wednesday that gays are entitled to nothing less than marriage and that Vermont-style civil unions will not suffice

“I now pronounce you husband and wife” will not be appropriate so I guess other titles will have to be used. So why not just call the union something other than marriage? As long as its as legally binding and supplies all the protection and benefits of the law why the insistance on using a term that’s used to describe a union between a man and a woman. Why do people get married in the first place. Is it to insure that they can go to the bedside of their loved one in the hospital. I mean that’s nice and all but a union of another name could handle this along with benefits, inheritance etc, just as well. insurance has already been taken care of. I thought people got married to raise a family.

This is a forum where we can voice our opinions. Mine…I don’t want to see this happen! If you feel differently I respect that. Thats why we have a (some what) democracy.
