Well, allow me to elaborate on Jake's "answer" just a little bit. The term does include marraige, as well as recognition as a couple. It also expands to anti-descrimination, as well as being treated equally under the law. Now, forgive me if I'm wrong, but the term "All Men are created equal" was never expanded to include "Except for the blacks, the Chinease, the Mexicans, and the gays, etc."
I take that phrase quite literally. I never thought it was up to interpretation, as it is a very concise statement. "All Men Are Created Equal". Now, don't go into the arguement that the phrase "doesn't include women..." Allow me to elaborate. All men=All of humankind.
