I'm not saying anything about religion when I talk about marriage. It doesn't need to be called marriage, but I want to have a say if my "life partner" is on the verge of death or not whether to pull the plug. I want to be able to say to the court that we are in an unbreakable bond forged by the fires of love, and that we deserve to be recognized as so. Call it civil unions or whatever, but I want it to be recognized as my right to say "I am your husband." I don't give a shit about any "natural aspect" of it, because it is love. Love can be between anything, but when it is between humans, it should be recognized as so. After all, governments are supposed to work for humans.
