I've also heard it said that "marriage equality" is a better term to use than "same-sex marriage"--because there is no distinct status of "same-sex marriage." The institution of marriage is the same regardless of who takes part.

Maybe we should call ourselves "equal gender" families. That would take care of so many issues, and it sounds rather positive, too. Excellent points.

Families are always appropriate. I wish there was some way to get that point across!
