Any two people who choose to do so should be allowed to create a "Civil Union Partnership" for the purpose of conducting their domestic lives, just as they can already create other kinds of legal partnerships for other purposes. Sexual obligations could be specified, or not, depending on the agreement of the partners, regardless of the sex of the partners.
As with any partnership, it is dissolved on the withdrawal of either party from the partnership.
Marriage is presently defined as the union of one man and one woman. There usually are sexual obligations associated with marriage. We see no reason to change this six-thousand-year definition at this time.
We must also insist that our Ultra-Left on Gay Rights must not be allowed to sabotage this election as they have helped to sabotage previous ones.
Basically, the Gay Rights Ultra-Left needs to sit down and be quiet on this issue, the same as our Ultra-Left on Abortion. Accept what the Mainstream is willing to accept. Half a loaf is better than none.
Finally, we must insist that our Anti-Christian Ultra Left not be allowed to sabotage this election as they have helped to sabotage previous ones.
Be responsible, guys. We are in no danger whatsoever of having any kind of a theocracy take over, unless you drive all 95% of the God-believing people into the Republican camp. Whether you like it or not, this is not an Atheist country. Live with it. ACLU take note. Also. while you are at it, read the Constitution more carefully. You will see that the actual prohibition is against "establishing" an official State religion, not against allowing religious ideas to be expressed freely in Public places.
