Steve Chapman, writing at Reason.com:
“As it turns out, it’s not the idea of treating gay couples equally that bothers most Americans. It’s the name of the legal arrangement. Call same-sex marriage by another term—civil union, domestic partnership, everything-but-marriage, Qualcomm Stadium, Death Cab for Cutie—and they’re fine with it. “
We either need to get the government out of the marriage game, or people need to get used to the idea that gay couples can have permanent, loving monogamy. Preferably both and the sooner the better.
