I beg to differ. It is an important step to give that valid and important constitutional recognition to the tens of thousands of people who are in committed relationships outside of marriage. We have the opportunity to make that change. Our Supreme Court is not going to make the change. We, as legislators, are putting that change to the people on 8 March and we have this opportunity to bring a "Yes" vote and broaden the definition of family in our society.
