Did Miss California lose because of her opinion on gay marriage?

Umm, so what you're saying Star, is that marriage is somehow different than ceremonies of partnership? Now you've lost me.

It doesn't matter what the majority thinks, it is a rights issue, not a definition issue.

Excellent.  You agree with me.  As you see no difference practically between a marriage and a ceremony of partnership, we have now reached a common ground.

Marriage is an important institution to billions, so we can keep it as such for them, and provide equivelant ceremonies of partnership for homosexuals. 

Thanks Wessle.  I find your proposal more than acceptable.  Ceremony of Partnership sounds far better than civil union.
