everyone would be equal. a justice of the peace would wed everyone. (or not if you pay for the license it really doesnt matter at that point.)
render under caesar what is caesar's and all.
those like me who believe this union should be administered in the eyes of God would then go to a minister (or religious man) and have the ceremony performed. you would then be married.
THEN if the homosexual lobby complains, a civil rights issue (as well as a separation of church and state issue, which they LOVE to whine about) would then favor the church.
since tax benefits are determined by the civil union, they would have to justify infringing on others religious rights.
every couple already married would have to pay the one time 25 dollars for the civil union license to gain the tax benefits (i'd rather pay a one time fee of 25 bucks to shut the gay marriage lobby down for good) than allow the gay marriage lobby to undermine our beliefs.
i'm willing to bet if this option were presented, the gays wouldn't go for it. proving once and for all that gay marriage was never about equality, but dominace and control of the churches.

time to call their bluff.
Actually I have heard many homosexuals say this same thing. I would be perfectly fine with this solution, as the government would be treating all of us the same. What I don't agree with is having two separate unions that are supposed to have the same rights. As has been shown REPEATEDLY civil unions/domestic partnerships are not treated the same even in states where the law says they are supposed to be, and the federal government doesn't recognize civil unions/domestic partnerships.

If the word is what it is about, why do states keep voting to deny even civil unions to same sex couples?

Thank you for pointing out the ugly side of the homosexual fetish herd.

There are other examples of when others' rights have been infringed upon in favor of supporting homosexual fetish rights.

*In April 2008, an Albuquerque photographer was fined over $6,000 for refusing to be hired to photograph a lesbian couple's commitment ceremony.
*In May, 2008, a black administrator was fired from the U of Toledo, Ohio, for writing an editorial objecting to the comparison of black discrimination to same-sex marriage.
*An intolerant opponent of Proposition 8 even violently attacked & injured a Proposition supporter in Oct. 2008.
*On November 19, 2008, eHarmony, a Christian-based matching service was forced by New Jersey's Division on Civil Rights to provide website matching services for homosexuals.

Children have the right to not be taught homosexuality in school. Yet, in places where gay marriage has been enacted, these rights have been infringed upon...

*Freshmen were told not to tell their parents about a pro-gay seminar & were required to sign a confidentiality agreement (Derrfield, Illinois Mar. 2007).
*In March, 2007, a Massachusetts high school banned parents from attending a seminar for students on how they can know they are homosexual.
*In October, 2008, First graders (6 year-old students) were taken on a field trip to watch their lesbian teacher's wedding.
*In Oct 2008, a Hayward CA public elementary school celebrated "Coming Out Day."

Normalizing & even encouraging children to explore homosexuality obviously causes more to experiment with homosexuality.
"The Legal Liability Associated with Homosexuality Education in Schools... This report is part of an integrated strategy to inform and educate parents, students and school officials across the nation of its contents and of their respective rights and duties. It has documented the concern that the health of students in many schools across the country may have been compromised and their First Amendment rights may have been denied."

Those who are quick to call someone who sees the anus as an exit only, "homophobic" - are actually projecting of their own fears.
Those who call illogical names like that fear truth - that the anus is indeed an exit only - according to anatomy and physiology.

I don't care how many revisionist links someone digs up, that's what terms phenomena truly signify. Those who clam otherwise are either playing games with words or lying to demonstrate their political correctness.

As previously mentioned with examples of others' rights being denied in favor of homosexual fetish rights...

It is time to take a stand for basic truth... that we each are a product of heterosexuality & that it is NATURE that discriminates by denying homosexual couples the "right" to offspring.

How exactly is Chick Fil A being vandalized even news? Chick Fil A is a Mickey Mouse organization; seriously, who takes fast food seriously to begin with and who wants to eat fried chicken ass to begin with? I think both sides need to shut the **** up!

That's not a basic truth though. Nature very often provides same-sex "mating" couples with offspring - and in many species these same-sex parings do a much better job of raising young to survive into adulthood.

This is just horrible. I bet Chic did it them-self to keep sympathy going.

So why aren't you harrassing heterosexuals? They FAR outnumber gay and lesbian people.

From the National Survey of Family Growth on the CDC website:

44% of heterosexual men and 36% of heterosexual women in the US engage in anal sex.

Over 90% of heterosexuals engage in using their mouths on a penis or vagina - oral sex.

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr036.pdf

And how about rape?

Wait till you get to the part about the number of girls and young women who have been forced by a male to have sex or whose first sexual experience was not voluntary (aka rape)

NSFG - Listing F - Key Statistics from the National Survey of Family Growth

-Percent of women 18-44 years of age ever forced by a male to have sexual intercourse at some time in their lives - 20.3%

-Percent of women 18-44 years of age who ever had sexual intercourse, whose first intercourse was not voluntary - 8%
