OMHO saying or trying to recognize that
legally it doesn't carry the same weight as the word
marriage doesn't change a thing regarding it's
importance and impact on those who understand
the meaning of the word used.
Husband still means "man"
Wife still means "woman"

Agree completely that husband means man, and vice versa. Boi's partner could be his husband, I am not trying to change his gender. Where is it written that a husband can't be in a civil union with another husband? I am suggesting that they may not be able to be in a marriage, but that a union of two husbands would be fine. Yes, give them the same rights as a married couple. Just call it a union. "This is my husband"....fine. I will figure it out when they are introduced, simply by the appearance of the couple.
I just contend that the words husband and wife do not need to be as protected as the word marriage.
