conservatives continue their attempts to destroy the institution of marriage

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

First off, to clarify, my position is that federally, there should be a law allowing civil unions with most but not all marriage rights (what I personally support; so it isn't a 'marriage in all but name'; not a lawyer so don't really know specifics about which rights I wouldn't include),

So you'd create an institution and make it unequal solely for the sake of making it unequal? What is the matter with you?

I'm a little weirded out by that cartoon, more the aesthetic of it than the sentiment, and I'm trans.
