I agree with the view that baby steps are key. I would be happy as a clam with a civil union with Caly as a start. She and I have special "vows" that we say to each other all the time, and we've said them for a very long time. They help us reconnect and find our center again when life gets difficult. We say them at other times too because they are so important and special.
I've thought for a long time that the discussion/debate over gay marriage in this country, while very troubling in a lot of ways, is good because at least people are talking about it and not "hiding it in the closet" as much anymore. I just hope the tide will turn soon, and positive, productive discussions and debates will outweigh negative ones.
In my opinion, I think civil unions are the best things to have. Even though they seem like cop outs to some, it's seen as a legal marriage. With all of the rights and responsibilities of a married couple. Of course that's my opinion.

Now for me they are not a cop out at all for 2 reasons.

I think if people are happy with it (as a first step or permanent thing) then that's what counts.
Here we just have marriage, because civil union was considered a form of segregation.

Hi Caly!
I think for now it's a good start and a great first step.
HI Willa thanks for answering.
Interesting that 2 countries who are so close to each other geographically can be so different.
