Generally we move by consensus and slowly - seems we can either go straight to gay marriage (unlikely) or immediately adopt civil unions nationally as a first step to attempt to provide the benefits and protections of marriage or at least as many of them as possible as rapidly as possible. I think that's a less than ideal yet practical step - wonder how that would play nationally - Obama and most politicians publicly support that option already. I think the debate alone would give more people pause to consider what the difference is anyway if not immediately but in a short time. Or do you think it would delay the eventual move to gay marriage? I say practical - since people need the legal protections and death and property rights yesterday not years from now.
