Quote:Yes, I did realize that. My current was married in NH well before I met her, so I know it was possible. We always wanted all the same access' afforded to a man and woman.

 

Maybe I just not following the argument. You're talking about a compromise correct? And this is for what reason exactly? Because some are offended that gay's are now able to call something the same thing that straight people have always called it? I know this is all in fantasy world as this is a done deal, but curious about this fictitious compromise.

 

It's as simple as changing the legal
terminology from "marriage" to "civil union".  After all, you said that you wanted the same access' afforded to a man and a woman.  If the legal document says that your civil union is legal, you get that (your rights).  After that, you can call it whatever you want up to and including a marriage.
