Calling everything a union would be fine. ... If you grant gays the secular benefits of marriage they have all they want or can have, if you do it without effecting peoples religious beliefs they won't even care and this whole debate would deserve to be moot.
But it has to be the same for all couples in every way.
HOW WOULD IT NOT BE? YOU CAN'T GIVE GAYS THE RELIGIOUS BENIFITS AS THAT ISN'T A GOVERNMENT FUNCTION.
I mant secularly. You can't legislate religion.

"Separate but equal" is not equal. And that's why I said you should give the same name to all unions, as well. Total equality.
OK BUT MARRIAGE IS A BAD NAME UNLESS YOU WANT TO PULL IN THE RELIGIOUS OVERTONES.
I don't care what you call it but it has to be the same for all couples.
