I actually am gay and I know in my heart that we won't win gay marriage at the ballot box and we won't have a chance in the courts either if Bush serves 4 more years. I would prefer civil unions that had federal rights, which I think we can get, to nothing. And I firmly believe those are our choices for at least the next couple of decades.

As to the relative ease in the technical sense just author a law which says. Wherever marriage occurs in the federal code substitute marriage and civil unions. Evidently the Patriot act did this kind of thing in some cases.
