here's the solution
no gay marriage. this is not an infringement on anyone's rights. gays can't marry the same sex and neither can i- i don't have any more rights than they do, i just happen to like girls. likewise, a gay man can marry a gay woman or whatever combination- you don't have to prove you like chicks to get married. in my eyes, the law is already equal. however, i do think that gay couples should get all the recognized rights that straight couples do. i don't think anyone is against state recognized civil unions. it's all essentially the same, and both sides benefit. this whole argument seems to be about nomenclature more than anything and it's silly
