It's so God damn easy I don't get why no one thought of this yet. I posted this earlier a few months back but I think it was ignored. Before you start flaming me for my warped view of reality, at least read the whole thing
Give Civil Unions the same benefits as Marriage, and let Heterosexual couples be allowed to have Civil Unions. That would eliminate any "Separate but Equal" bullshit out of the water. But wait, there's more! Legalize Gay Marriage across the country, but let individual churches choose whether or not to accept the marriages. If Gay couples really wanted marriage they should have no problem finding a small local church to hold their wedding, and if they cant find a church to approve of it, there is always a Government equivalent with the same benefits.
Bam! Boom! Solved. Where's my medal?

20 Replies in this Sub-ThreadWhy would anybody pick Civil Unions over Marriages? Why not just stop being assholes and let Gay people get married? Like -blam!- it's not a big -blam!-ing deal just stop being bigots.

Like I said, Gays can get married. The Civil Unions would be like a last resort if they couldn't find a church that wanted to carry out the ceremony. Under my idea, I would write the bill so that Civil Unions would be be classified as a married couple. It's just the Government going "Okay, well you can't find a church where you live that will marry you two, so we're gonna do it for you through the power of the books." Gnome Saiyan?
