I am of the belief that it is about rights. It's about the legal, financial, and social benefits and protections that are deserved in a free society. And if calling it marriage is the huge hurdle with some people, fine call it civil unions, partnerships, committed unions, or best-friends-forever for all I care. It's about two people in love committed to each other and their rights. The people involved know the true meaning. There is a bigger picture than a symbolic title.
