No. But you already know this.

An excellent life rule everyone can adhere to; When others are granted rights, that doesn't mean anything changes for you. You don't get less rights than you once had. It's not a fucking pie.

BTW, I have a husband. My husband is only applicable to me. You are free to find a husband or a wife any sort of life partner you wish. That choice doesn't impact me in any way, even if you believe it does.

Ceecee what's the single word that describes a pair bonding between a heterosexual couple?

The word Ceecee, not discussing rights for a moment, just the descriptor, in english, for a monogamous heterosexual couple.

Bonus round if you can explain how erasing it can benefit homosexuals or will add to diversity and pluralism.

Its the revision of the english language to mean something other than it meant originally, or newspeak if you like, personally I dont believe this benefits anyone.

It can stand to harm people though as it deepens the well meant confusion on the one hand and prevents anyone from experiencing the benefits anyone growing up before this mess were able to take for granted.

Or to put it another way, Ceecee, who controls the past controls the future, who controls the present controls the past.

You cant see past the fact that you think there's some sort of hate fueled conspiracy against homosexuals going on but think about it.

So no proof.

You've steadily evaded my point. Its alright if you dont want to answer.

You could maintain there's no harm but you cant maintain there's no change.

Its forever, not for better. If you've got proof to the contrary I'll stand corrected. Have at it.

Marriage used to mean a relationship between members of the opposite sex.

Then THAT idea became taboo.

It means something else now. Some sort of contract maybe.

Maybe you missed the memo, but marriage IS a form of contract.
The terms being in sickness and in health, till death do they part- or whatever it is, religious or lawful.
Besides, marriage is an umbrella term of a union, without the genitals of the individuals being a determinant.


There isnt any word for a relationship between members of the opposite sex anymore. These rights are strange that involve doing such violence to the english language.

Would you let words rule us? Even the words we have were created by us. Our capacities of observation are limited by our biases and lack of knowledge, but putting a name to it needn't seal it as law. If something crumbles in the face of the truth, it was shaky to begin with. Correct yourself. Advance, instead of being bound by words.

May I suggest feeding some ducks whenever you have the urge to engage in some pointless discussion/debate online. I mean, seriously, who cares if you win a point with some hairy, shirtless dude online?

I like feeding ducks. Once I lived next to a lake and I would walk to the end of a dock and throw bread crumbs to the ducks. They would start to fight over the crumbs and I would shout, "be kind and loving". It dawned on me that I was the Ducky Jesus. :D

That can be my point. The best approach to living life is to become the Ducky Jesus. :D

Well, I am in a legally and religiously formalized relationship with a member of the opposlte sex, and we call it marriage. The gay couple down the street calls their legally sanctioned relationship marriage, too. The fact that we use the same word should clue you in to the fact that it is essentially the same thing, with the differences coming from who we are as individuals in the relationships, only part of which involves our chromosomes and genitalia.

Are you one of those folks who would call Ameila Earhardt an aviatrix, or Jane Austen an authoress? If not, then you should have no problem with a gender-neutral word to describe formalized domestic/life partnerships.
