Jaysay , I am not stopping anybody . Like Margaret I am just saying that in the English language marriage is between man and woman , and so let's respect the language and the meaning behind it .
Surely a civil union or partnership is good terminology to use , rather than bringing in language from another type of union or partnership which is specific to itself .
My saying "Please do not use the word "marriage" but stay with "civil union or partnership" " is not saying anything implied in your post .
