I disagree;

Marriage... husband ...wife all are part of the same package.

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.
