More than two dozen Democrats have proposed legislation that would eliminate the words "husband" and "wife" from federal law.
Those "gendered terms" would be replaced by "gender-neutral" words like "spouse" or "married couple," according to the bill from Rep. Lois Capps, D-Calif.
"The Amend the Code for Marriage Equality Act recognizes that the words in our laws have meaning and can continue to reflect prejudice and discrimination even when rendered null by our highest courts," Capps said. "Our values as a country are reflected in our laws. I authored this bill because it is imperative that our federal code reflect the equality of all marriages."

given some negotiation I could be for this moonbattery.
I agree to remove the words "Marriage", "husband", "wife" from all text in all federal, state and local laws and decrees, statutes and ordanances.
SO LONG AS
government includes the following:
In as much as Marriage is a religious institution, no person shall be forced to participate in any way in a marriage they oppose upon religious grounds.
How is moving to gender-neutral terms "nuttiness"? How is that anything more than a reflection of the constant change of culture? These are federal laws we're talking about and, as we have seen recently, the wording can be taken very strictly, even as a strict adherence to the wording may run counter to the intent of the law.
It's what Fabian Socialists do. They forge away by pounding the sledgehammer at society to remold it into their utopian dream. They will NOT stop either.
It seems like it would just be a more accurate wayof reflecting our changing marriage culture. I think they should get ahead of the curve and and ad a /s after spouse.
Culture has not organically changed, it has been attacked and destroyed by the Cultural Marxists. Anyone who dares disagree with them and stand up for basic human morality is called names. You can't bully someone into silence and claim a moral victory. When enough people wake up to how they have been manipulated by the left-wing social engineers, there will be a massive backlash and all the utopian dreamers' objectives will backfire on them.
Translation- I hate that society is no longer bigoted towards people I don't like and now I don't like considered the bigot.
I don't see why it has to be changed. Even in homosexual marriages there is still a "husband" and a "wife". meaning there is still the male and female gender roles being taken over by each of them.
Absolutely NOT! Ridiculous! This mess will be straightened up when time passes and sanity returns...or else America goes the way of Rome when they fell off the moral bandwagon.
