RE: Why not?
I agree the government should use a general word that applies to all when it’s trying to speak concerning laws that apply to all. If it wants to give benefits or exact penalties on only certain types of relationships, then it should use a word that only applies to some of them.
It sounds insanely obvious … but that’s my point.
It makes me chuckle that people are in such a fuss over this. It reminds me of my kids. As soon as my 1-yr old plays with a toy, that is the toy my 4-year old wants. It doesn’t matter what toy it is; it matters that his brother has it and he doesn’t.

Yes, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that the 1-year-old has every right to make a fuss, and it’s the 4-year-old that’s misbehaving.
Likewise, homosexuals have every right to be complaining, and it’s their opponents (primarily the religious right) who are behaving like 4-year-olds.
