Are you talking about same sex marriage? If that is what you mean, how does it have implications that will change life as we know it now?
Personally, I am for civil unions which would give gay/lesbian couples every right that a married couple has under federal and state laws.
As for calling it marriage, a civil union means the same thing in my book if it is not performed in a church. There is nothing to say anywhere that a marriage has to be performed in a church. How is a civil union performed by a Justice of the Peace or a judge in city hall any different than a marriage between a man and a woman that is performed by a JP or a judge in city hall?
