There were several suggestions made in the other thread. I suggested "bunny boppin". All that is needed is a law saying that in any contract, statute or legislation, wherever the word marriage is found the term "bunny bopping" may be substituted with full equivalence.
​
Other possible terms could be
​
  • wanderlust
  • memories of freedom
  • sheer insanity
  • step into hell
  • monkey business
  • pay the piper

Where is it written that you have the right to deny others' rights just so you can continue to enjoy cheaper healthcare?
​
Actually it would likely LOWER his healthcare costs. I offered once to discuss it with him but instead he just ran away.
​
Healthcare premiums are based on risk assesment and experience. Currently the cost of a Family policy takes into account the costs of a pregnancy and also the costs of 2.5 children. Married homosexual couples entering the pool of Family Insurance would most likely LOWER the premium over time as experience showed they were less likely to have a family member getting pregnant or the added costs involved with children.
​
Initially it will be the homosexual couples who will pay a disproportionate share of the healthcare, paying more for and getting less for their Family policy than the bisexual couple.
