Exactly.
And this would be a good thing.
Not to mention, it would get rid of whatever objections the real religious fanatics have. What could they say? and the protections would be there for all couples.
It’s a win-win.
I agree, but we know that some people on the hard right would NEVER accept anything giving gay couples the right to marry/join in civil unions and the legal rights normally associated with marriage/civil unions.
