The term ‘marriage', which always had a clear meaning, has now a double meaning. Since April 17 we have two kinds of marriage.
Same sex marriages enjoy the same legal status as traditional marriages. In actual reality, however, the difference could not be greater.
I have thought of suitable terms which accurately convey the true nature of the difference.
Traditional marriages could be called ppp marriages, and same sex marriages lpp marriages – ppp denoting: possessing procreative potential, and lpp: lacking procreative potential. Or p and l marriages for short.
The terms are matter of fact, to the point, completely rainbow-free.
