That way, all the morons beside me in Virginia who amended their constitution to make marriage legally between only a man and a woman can have that, and everyone can have access to civil unions. It's good to see that my mother's idea doesn't exist in a vacuum. Thank you for sharing it. And best of luck bringing your little boy into the world. I'm very excited and happy for you.

I don't think you are clueless and I don't think you are being simplistic. I agree, legal rights and religious marriage rights should be separated. And that is why it is such a pain that the whole gay thing has become a gay marriage thing. The fact that the govt has determined who is allowed to have a legal relationship is extremely disturbing to me. This is about human rights, not gay rights. Of course, I say this while I am on the list of people denied rights -- that you share this belief is a very powerful thing. Thanks sster.

A long time coming in our current political environment, but so very fair. Great idea–it would be so fair. A long time coming in our current political environment, but so very fair.

I find it very hard to find political representation that has anything to do with what I believe. Funny, you voiced my opinion for me.

A few years back the city of San Francisco rules that every business within the city limits had to offer domestic partnership benefits. The Catholic church didn't want to, so the way they got around it was to offer benefits to their employees and "one person of the employee's choosing." Everyone wins! Amen!
