Just to clarify:
1. I did read the campaign but I didn't refer directly to this particular campaign but rather to the general situation in response to equating support for gay rights to support for other illegal activities (in this case incest, but sometimes it paedophilia or bestiality).
2. I am gay myself in a long-term relationship (10 years now) and I'm not interested in getting married myself, and neither do some of my gay friends who are also in long-term relationships. That's why I wrote "most homosexual couples" which I admit is not accurate either since I haven't taken a survey. Maybe it should have read "many" or maybe "in my experience, most", but the main point of my post remains the same and is that while for some (however many) gay couple the issue is also semantical, it's first and foremost an issue of equal rights.
3. I don't really want to comment about this campaign because I find it confusing. I don't understand why they don't start at home (USA, where Microsoft are already active promoting same-sex legalised partnerships) and in countries where the attitude towards homosexuality is generally positive, but which have not yet legalised same-sex partnerships (e.g. Israel).
This is not criticism for the campaign, just an explanation why I my comments weren't about it.
4. I do support your and your partner's right to be civilly-partnered as opposed to getting married. I hope that you will be able to do that very soon.
