Same-Sex Marriage Update

[Sun]

Just curious about how you all feel about this subject.

Equality CA, CA Faith for Equality and National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, recently held a workshop in San Francisco to train leaders in what they call "Breakthrough Conversations" effectively speaking to the middle. The moveable middle. Since CA is in a holding pattern in regard to Prop 8, I believe the plan was to prepare for whatever comes next, such as a return to the polls in the off chance that the appeal would crash and burn. Those of you who have followed Prop 8 know that it is already dead because the state of CA will not defend it.

Anyway...moving along...All 3 groups endorsed changing the language from "Same Sex Marriage" to "Marriage Equality" because (my favorite part) using the word "sex" freaks some people out.

Seriously? Ok so I can get on board with not using a term like same sex marriage but not because it freaks people out. Oddly the sex industry is multi billion $ but that must all be behind closed doors huh.

Or, the opposition, the bible thumping haters who are freaking out, represent the closet? Is that possible. I am burnt out on this topic but would love to hear from some of you in regard to what terms you feel most comfortable with.
