b) This whole "strengthen Civil Unions, give them all the rights of marriage... but don't call it that!!!!!" Is just so fundamentally silly and illogical to me.
Just out of curiosity, what do you think of the idea of abolishing the state recognition of marriage, with "civil unions" being granted for all couples, and marriage being left to churches/religious institutions as a ceremony? I feel that abolishing the marriage license entirely may appease all sides without the whole “civil unions but not marriage” claim.
