Marriage Title vs Partner Relationship

Social Ideology, which are social beliefs, need to be influenced to be returned to actual titles such as Partner Relationships and not marriage. Getting Legislature to change what they call such will be quite an undertaking.


While you can be tolerant of such relationships, the definition should not be reflected by sharing the title of Marriage. I have friends that are same sex and are legally "married" in the eyes of the judicial system in San Francisco. I do not see them as married because I define the term marriage as being between a man and a woman. Even if one of them had a sex change and then joined into a legal relationship, I would still not consider them married. You cannot change DNA no matter how you change genitalia.


I don't think we should be forced to "make a cake" for anyone that we choose not to as in the situation where the bakery owners were fined for refusing to bake and decorate a cake for a same sex couple for their marriage. If restaurants can post that they "reserve the right to refuse service to anyone they choose", then I think that should hold true for anyone who decides not to participate in any way in support of a same sex union.


As we learn tolerance for each other, we need to be respectful of each other's lifestyles as long as they don't infringe on our right not to participate. We can be kind and appreciative of their relationship without agreeing with it.


Sometimes we just need to agree to disagree while being respectful.
