I’m baffled by the opposition. Mind blowingly baffled.

... Because it would give a leg to stand on for same-sex marriages and the legal benefits thereof.

Still too many people who think the faint risk of that is bad. Many of those also feel it's a threat to their religion and their version of God.

Though, I think "gender" may be a better term in the present climate.

Aye. People have to have SOME way to feel better about themselves. Might as well be by controlling and crushing others.
