The conservative who opposed “civil unions” or some other mechanism by which gay couples could have the same privileges and protections as heterosexual married couples bear some responsbility.

By refusing a solution that did not redefine marriage everyone became (rainbow) painted into corners.

Sorry, no. The very mention of civil unions these days throws the gay mafia into fits of rage. The very same people who proposed such solutions in the past now scoff at them as “separate but equal.”

“Civil unions” were meant to be an incremental step toward the ultimate goal of same-sex marriages.

But thanks to activist judges, they were able to skip a step.

DING DING we have a winner. As a conservative and a Catholic I got reamed out on this site over that very position.

You want spousal rights over a legal fiction, great go for it, but you sure as HE!! are not going to call it a marriage and you are not going to force anyone into allowing it in a Church.
