womanistmusings Using the word “civil union” or “contract” is exactly what segregation was.

Exactly this kind of policy creates gay relationships as other and supports the idea that heteros have a life and gay people have a lifestyle. The words we use to describe a relationship are very important because language is such a huge part of discourse. Through language we affirm ideas in our culture and some of these ideals marginalize certain bodies. Love is love and does not need to be qualified.
