This actually makes sense.
Take the Government out of the "marriage" business. Government would only recognize Civil Unions. Marriage would become a strictly religious union. Religions (as they do now) could perform ceremonies for whomever they choose.
Keeping government only involved in the parts of civil unions that are government matters.. taxation, power of attorney for things such as medical emergencies etc, inheritance, etc...
None of this touch feely bullshit acceptance or anything else....
This I agree with... but we all know this is not the goal of the movement...
