Marriage at 11:34 AM

I have a problem with gays and lesbian couples who refer to their partner as their wife or husband. You aren't. Sorry. If you went to some state or country an made it all legal, that's a different story. But if you just decided that you two have been together long enough to take that title, your wrong. You can't even get a common law marriage. I'll put up with "partner", "life partner", and even "spouse.". Marriage requires legal documentation and recognition from some type of government. And no, marriage of the heart doesn't count either.

When you use the term husband, your ignoring the fact that you can't actually get married. Your saying it doesn't matter what the government says, you aren't going to bother with that pesky step. Maybe your thinking, your being some kind of activist or pointing out how your partnership is just as valid as a marriage. It's not. You don't get the same rights, responsibilities, and respect. Don't get me wrong, I wish we could get married, but by ignoring the fact you aren't your ignoring the importance of fighting for that right.
