Plus, Alexander who writes at Voenix Rising gave reprinted this wonderful idea:

This is a great idea that every one of us can use every day to open the eyes of people that don’t understand our struggle. This is a call for the GLBT community and its allies to stop recognizing marriage until marriage is recognized for all. The original concept appeared on The Devil’s Advocate, and was written by Tom Ackerman. Here is the text:

I no longer recognize marriage. It’s a new thing I’m trying.
Turns out it’s fun.

Yesterday I called a woman’s spouse her boyfriend.
She says, correcting me, “He’s my husband,”“Oh,” I say, “I no longer recognize marriage.”

The impact is obvious. I tried it on a man who has been in a relationship for years,
“How’s your longtime companion, Jill?”
“She’s my wife!”
“Yeah, well, my beliefs don’t recognize marriage.”

Fun. And instant, eyebrow-raising recognition. Suddenly the majority gets to feel what the minority feels. In a moment they feel what it’s like to have their relationship downgraded, and to have a much taken-for-granted right called into question because of another’s beliefs.
Just replace the words husband, wife, spouse, or fiance with boyfriend, girlfriend, special friend, or longtime companion. There is a reason we needed stronger words for more serious relationships. We know it; now they can see it.
