I am repeating myself I suppose, but I do not think the gay community is of a single mind about anything, much less marriage vs. civil unions. I don't think many people regardless of gender identity have solidified their thinking as between those two. Most opinions in my experience are reflexive and seldom thought through very well until someone engages them in this kind of discussion.
That being said, assuming for a moment your estimate is accurate, kap17, I say let us decide between the two after we are given the exact same benefits and burdens of marriage. Then we can really decide. Now it is a bit like an undernourished person being offered McDonalds and being denied filet mignon.
I support Sky's proposal to take the word away from everyone as far as the laws are concerned, with the proviso about equal benefits and burdens. I just can't see straight people being willing to give up the title.
