I know several quiet, long-term monogamous gay couples (friends and family). So I support some sort of gay civil union, but not something directly equivalent to marriage, a sacrament in the Christian churches. I suppose my beliefs are not dissimilar to the Vice President's.

Goodness knows, there's enough promiscuity in the gay community; anything that encourages mature, caring relationships cannot be all bad.
