Well, if they don't fucking exists then how do you know they are not the fucking solution?

That's like asking, "How do you know unicorns aren't the solution to world hunger?"

If they want to call themselves "married," that's OK. But I don't see why the law needs to.
​
And that's your answer right there: if the law doesn't "need to" recognize the same rights for gays as for everybody else, that's discrimination.
​
And I also take notice that heterosexual people MAY NOT marry members of the same sex. You don't hear THEM bitching about it.
​
On the contrary, almost everybody who is bitching about it on this thread is heterosexual. I DO want the right to marry the person of my choice, without anybody looking under his/her skirt to check his/her qualifications.

But why does the law need to say it...?
​
This has been repeated over and over and over and over....
​
The law needs to treat people as equals.
​
If the law can prescribe a different "relationship" between same-sex couples, then it can prescribe a different "relationship" between mixed-race couples or different-religion couples or different-age couples, or....
​
Equality is just that - equality. Everybody treated equally. If you get to choose who you marry, so does everybody else.
