I realized what is going on here, I think. RR and people like him don't want to be associated with gays through the word marriage. They want it clear that "their" marriage is different.
In which case I say we let them create their own word. Like Christian-Union. They can have Christian unions, and everyone else can have marriage. That way, we're not associated with them.
Nah. They don't need to make up a new one. Let them keep the one they've already got. Holy matrimony. As long as it's not legally binding through their parish wizard, I'm good with it.

Lol sure, fair enough! Nothing stopping them doing that.
I'd love to know in what way a same-sex marriage is actually different. "Marriage is all about differing genitalia" doesn't exactly hold much water. Seriously, that's the focal point? Not, like... the relationship between the people, or anything?
I've always wondered about the rare few people who actually carry both sets of genitalia. Do they get a pass and can marry anybody or are they stuck in some religious loophole that prevents them from marrying anyone?!?
I think we're gonna need someone who speaks in tongues to sort this one out for us.
