Ross,

I think you've confused Roger and I. I was the one who responded to your point.

I do realise that you are in favour of gay marriage, I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I thought otherwise.

I was confused by your desire to have gay marriage named differently from straight marriage. As I said, whilst historically marriage may have been necessary in order to with have sex and babies, among other things, that's no longer the case. By and large gay and straight people get married for pretty much the same reasons, I believe. And besides, why not have equality? Distinguishing between straight marriage and gay marriage just doesn't strike me as equality.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned it's just marriage.

best,

Matt
