@Debra Law,
You understand very little . Are you sure you know what I am proposing ? You have created both sides of the argument and found in your favour . That is delusional . Would it be alright with you if I told you what I am proposing ? I hope it doesnt affect your argument...
I was proposing (events have overtaken it) a compromise in that the full legal rights of heterosexual marriage be applied to homosexual unions, we just find a different name for it because it is the name that is creating the divisiveness . Of course arrogance and stupidity won the day . Who wants to compromise when you have a cause that makes you feel powerful and righteous . People like you just want to push others around, carrying on with bullshit about slavery . Really ? How dare you compare homosexuality with slavery ! You are truely an obnoxious desperate character .

Quote: An online urban online dictionary
Ok, Ok, I get it already..it was online...gees ! You would have done better to use a real dictionary :
Quote:De facto (/dɨ ˈfæktoʊ/, /deɪ-/, Latin: [deː ˈfaktoː]) is a Latin expression that means "in fact, in reality, in actual existence, force, or possession, as a matter of fact" (literally "from fact").
They are also known as common law marriages, defacto relationships, domestic relationships, close personal relationships, and domestic partnerships to name a few . The original concept of a "common-law marriage" is a marriage that is considered valid by both partners, but has not been formally recorded with a state or religious registry, or celebrated in a formal religious service . In effect, the act of the couple representing themselves to others as being married, and organizing their relation as if they were married, acts as the evidence that they are married . Your choice of a definition was silly and self serving .
