Yeahbut (sorry, couldn't figure out how to make the symbol on this keyboard, even with cheatsheets!), I'm not trying to say pipples ain't pipples - just that marriage has been one thing for so long, is it really fair to ask it to stretch to accommodate a very new thing?

We make up new words for all kinds of new things in this new world - and "marriage" between two people of the same sex can never be what most of the world understands marriage to be. So why can't there be a new word for it?
