They do have a name for it already. A civil union.
What ticks me off about this is it only applies to gay partners.
I never wanted to get married. I had no need for marriage, I wasn't going to have kids, so I saw no need for marriage except... for the 'benefits of marriage' which is the same reason they want it.
I would have been much happier with a 'civil union' but this is not an option for straight couples then. and why not?

Good point!
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
