"Gay Marriage" Supporters Don't Want Equal Rights

It’s obvious that these anti-prop-8 (pro-homosexual) protesters are not after equal rights, because they already have equal rights:

Quoting CA FAMILY CODE SECTION 297.5:

Registered domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections, and benefits, and shall be subject to the same responsibilities, obligations, and duties under law, whether they derive from statutes, administrative regulations, court rules, government policies, common law, or any other provisions or sources of law, as are granted to and imposed upon spouses.

And they’re certainly not interested in tolerance.

What they want is to rewrite history; they want to take words that have existed for hundreds of years -- marriage, husband, wife -- and change their definitions.

Of course, they don’t really come right out and say that; instead they try to frame the matter as a civil rights issue.

But a few decades ago, when black Americans were fighting for civil rights, they wanted the same rights as white Americans; they didn’t want the "right" to be called white Americans.

And women’s rights activists didn’t want the "right" to be called men -- they just wanted the same rights as men.

So why do so many homosexuals want the "right" to be called "husband and wife" when that’s simply inaccurate?  Why aren’t they satisfied with having the same rights as husbands and wives?
