Fosdick, is that you?
What part of "separate but equal" being unconstitutional are you having trouble with?
Look, if you want to differentiate your special friendship from the contract of marriage which is a fundamental right that cannot be abridged to citizens, then it is your responsibility to come up with it. Of course, it won't have any legal meaning due to that "separate but equal" being unconstitutional thing and all, but you can call your special friendship whatever you want.
The rest of the world who speaks English will continue to use the word "marriage," the contract law will continue to use the term "marriage," and nobody will be confused as to what is meant.
Question: What is it you think gay people do that straight people don't such that there is any way to distinguish them other than the trivial aspect of the sex of the participants?

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
