Calling it marriage does not make it marriage. Just like calling your son a girl doesn't make his Dick disappear.Marriage equality means equal legal benefits. It will never mean marriage.
Except to those who get married of course.
No, it doesn't. This applies to straight people, it applies to anyone.
Marriage is two people who are together and want to be together and work well together.
The 50% divorce rate in the US suggests there are plenty of married people who really aren't married, but just happen to have a legal status that says they are.
But then you have gay people who are married, who work well together and who can't get the legal side of it or the recognition and the rights and privileges that go with that.
Also, for gay people as a whole, rather than individuals, being taken as EQUAL is also important.
