What's the difference? I ask that in all seriousness.
I'm near the end of a divorce right now. At this point it is simply business negotiations. When you distill it down, "marriage" is simply a legal partnership between two people who are "committed" (or should be...ha!).
Is it just the word? So we keep marriage for man/woman, and "legal union" for gays, and both have identical tax/benefits/etc? If so, I think most gays/liberals would be fine with that. I don't think you'd find many conservative/republicans who are. But I could be wrong...
