The second one proposes a decent argument for not calling gay marriage marriage, but not for treating it differently than marriage. The person who proposes this ought to support civil unions. And gays, like infertile couples, can provide a different beneficial role by adopting.
This pisses me off. People need to stop accepting that as reasonable. Marriage...if it is recognized by the government and not just the church is ....A CIVIL UNION. Creating a whole new civil union called 'civil union' that is the same thing as marriage is for no purpose but to discriminate against gay people, and that is not a good argument. If the government recognized marriage for procreation, they would not allow infertile/couples that do not plan to have kids to marry.
