Change the category/term "Marriage"/"Spouse"/etc. in all federal statutes (like the tax code, SS, and others).

Created by R.I. on March 30, 2013

The category of "Marriage" does not need to be a Federal definition. I petition that any federal document with category "Married" or for "Spouse" be changed to "Domestic Partner" or something like that. Then, the Fed does not need to define marriage and everything can have the same intention. "Marriage" can be defined by the churches, synagogues, mosks, etc. as the people's religion choose. Not for the federal government to define.

Thank you.
