I fear gay marriage advocates have overestimated public favor in both MA and CA by insisting on seizing the ground that lies between civil unions and the incremental symbolic value of the word "marriage." Most of the people I know are embarrassed there's no provision for equal rights, and would readily support equal
rights but also are protective of the word "marriage" even if they define permissible civil unions to cover all of the ground covered by "marriage."
Maybe we can solve this by defining both marriage and civil unions as "affectional community"* or some shit like that, and using only that term in state law.
