Gays can't get married because that term is reserved for straights, so we get domestic partnerships. Now we have a case where domestic partnerships are too much like marriage so we can't use that term either. Back in January, Salt Lake City passed a domestic partner registry. It can't do much with a state marriage protection amendment, but it did allow a way to "prove" a gay relationship for private-sector employees. And that's about it. But when the Utah state legislature heard about it they said you can't call it a domestic partner registry. So you call it … what? Right now it apparently has no name, though they could call it the Sodomy Registry.
