Though I support gay marriage if its passed state by state, I don't understand why its such a negative to support civil unions. Circa 2000-2004 this would have been appreciated by the gay community. In fact, that was the major push around that time and it only changed as the community sensed opportunities.
A federal civil union law will provide for the exact same benefits that ssm offers other than the singular word marriage. Almost all of the GOP candidates support civil unions (besides Bachmann, Santorum, Perry) - I recall even John Kerry supporting civil unions with no constitutional ban.
