Dec. 19th, 2003 09:48 amI'm starting to feel like a heel for my vote...
In that American Family Association (Ha, Families only the way THEY define them) I was one of the people who voted for civil unions rather than marriage.
it's not that *I* have anything against the concept of same-sex marriage. It's just that some people seem rather hung up on the term (and the Webster dictionary definition of) "marriage". So I figgered, let them have their term if it's that precious to them. What I care about are rights, and if those can be attained with another term like "civil union" than I'm happy. I was being accommodating (or so I thought) but as few people are crowing over those votes, I feel like people think that's the more penurious choice.
