Mr Skeptic Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 But you still called it a "marriage" in your own posts. I rest my case. Indeed. And that suggests, but does not necessarily require, that both same sex marriage and opposite sex marriage both fall into the category of marriage. (If you'd like, I can give you examples in biological common names where the name falsely suggests belonging to a certain category.) And as you call them slightly different names as JohnB suggested, I too rest my (or his) case. If it weren't for the term "marriage" appearing in our laws, this would be an entirely semantic issue.

scrappy Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 How about a one-sex marriage for the same-sexers and a two-sex marriage for the dif-sexers? But wouldn't that mean that a one-sex marriage is only half a marriage...if you can go all the way to two for the maximum effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokele Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 But wouldn't that mean that a one-sex marriage is only half a marriage...if you can go all the way to two for the maximum effect? Care to rephrase that in a way that *doesn't* sound like you're calling gay relationships inferior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Funny how you choose a name, and then, based on that name, suggest one of the things you named is inferior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
