Maybe one of my posts?

If this whole "marriage equality" question had instead been posed as, "Should homosexual civil commitments (or whatever phrase) receive all benefits under the law and be recognized as being the equal of marriage?" you'd have heard nary a peep from me.

My father used to have a saying, "Let's agree to call a spade a spade." I just don't want to call a spade a shovel.
