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?

11 Replies in this Sub-ThreadIf Civil Unions got the same rights as marriages why not just use the same word? And the church things was never a part of it. Gays aren't trying to force churches to marry them, they want the government to recognize them as married couples and afford them the same rights as married heterosexual couples.

No, the solution is not to change the word to save the hurt feelings of a bunch of people but rather to keep the word in honor of those who are fighting for that word to apply to them and their loved ones. -blam!- the people who don't want them to be happy, they can deal with it.

I'm so happy you are not a politician. A solution exists that will potentially solve the problem for both sides but you don't want to solve the problem for the side you don't like.
