Why it has to be called marriage

I was listening to the radio today and it was reported that a gay marriage advocate and a leader of the opposition were reported to have reached a compromise. Everyone would be happy with a form of civil unions which they then described. Christians would be protected from having to recognize these "unions" as marriage.

The fundamental and in my opinion primary reason for promoting gay marriage GAY MARRIAGE is respect. Repeat respect. Yes the legal benefits are nice, but what one wants is that ones relationships are treated with respect. This is only achieved by calling it marriage.
