Everything you said here I replied to elsewhere. But tldr; Romans didn't get married, the term was Conubium, or Coniugium.

And if you were talking about the institution of marriage it was Matrimonium, which surrounded the aspect of women as mothers.

The term marriage did not exist yet showing that the term marriage does not matter. Choosing a word over the health/safety and happiness of the common person is pointless.

Terms change, and if it's for a good reason we should change them. The oldest current governing body is only ~250 years old. Christians have been claiming the term marriage for far longer than that.

Why would you care that they called it a civil union or anything else if the rights were the same? Why should people be persecuted to uphold such, it's all frivolous. Change the term in government documents, and let people have whatever ceremonies they want and exclude who they want from their ceremonies.

Conserving "Tradition" is an inability to grow.
