…why MARRIAGE is so important to people who are currently denied it, please read this.
Civil unions, relationship “recognition”, or civil partnerships, whatever words you want to use (without actually using the word marriage) don’t stack up, because a two tiered system of rights is open to abuse. Granted, this horrific case was probably made worse by the fact that the gentlemen were elderly, and the younger one had some cognitive impairment. Surely the very people that our society needs to protect.

I also wonder why heterosexual couples often don’t get themselves the protection of marriage
