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...

Yep, you're wrong. What the "gay rights" folks have been lobbying for is MORE than "equal rights"...they seem to want special rights and privileges. Much the same as "rights" demanded by the NOW (aka NAG) folks...
