How about this...

Marriage = Legal License between a man and a woman

Civil Union = Legal License between a same sex couple.

To me the debate is over the use of the word "Marriage".

If the U.S. were to enact a law that grants all U.S. citizens the same and equal rights whether it be a "Marraige" or a "Civil Union" would this not solve the problem???

Why must the gay community be so adamant about the semantics of the word marriage and not embrace the term "Civil Union" as their own? To me this would create the unity needed at the national level to take the issue to Washington via a united front rather than fighting the battle in 50 separate arenas.
