its not marriage equality. its homosexual couples marriage.

anyway, i just wish the state would get out of marriage. its not the governments job.

Actually, that is exactly what it is - removing the gender barrier that prevents some couples from enjoying full civil rights that come from marriage because of their gender.   A Church in Rhode Island marries a couple - before, only man/woman couples would have civil rights, now gender discrimination has been removed.

 

no its not marriage equality, its just opening up state recognized marriage to one more group. there are still many groups and types of marriage still excluded.

by no definition, can this be considered marriage "equality".

So what kind of two people consenting adult marriages are you missing out of?

 

im not. but many people are still missing out on other forms of marriage that they wish to partake in.

expanding the states definition of marriage to one more group, does not mean marriage "equality". its still excludes so many other definitions.

rhode island didnt pass "marriage equality", they passed homosexual couples marriage.
