partner, spouse, significant other

We're all saying the same thing.
It is not right to have discrimation against those who choose a partner and have a relationship that is not, for lack of a better word, traditional. When two people who choose to live together (man and woman) get all sorts of perks like tax breaks, reduced healthcare premiums, reduced countryclub membership fee, etc. because they are recognized as a family, and two people other people (same sex) do not get these perks, it is discrimination. That has absolutely nothing to do with religion. Does it really make that much of a difference if they call it "marriage"?
