Thanks. I couldn’t quite think of the right word.

So, it’s not that opponents of gay marriage are against gay marriage per se, it’s just that there could be all sorts of collateral damage.

I’m against it but I can see I’m likely to lose. You’re likely to win. These are surrender negotiations. Will you settle for a new arrangement in which any two unrelated consenting adults can marry, but only two?

Yeah, I know. My camp is weak, and your camp can do whatever it likes and my camp can’t stop it. This is an appeal to your prudence rather than your mercy.
