>>I think civil unions would be faster to implement and afford the needed legal protections faster than holding out for a word - and I agree whole heartedly with reclassifying marriage as civil unions for all. It's a compromise that protects the churches and their view of marriage as a gift from god between a man and woman and the rest of us can be hitched.<<

Well, there you go. We have reached consensus. It's a good thing.

I don't think we were too far apart on this issue in the first place, though. I also believe that despite the emotional rhetoric about defending the traditional family, the civil rights aspect of the same sex marriage issue make it a relatively easy issue to come to grips with. As opposed to something like abortion, say.
