so far the track record has not been good. The argument for civil unions for everyone that I find interesting is that it clearly separates (what has become) the religious ceremony of marriage from the civil contract. It drives a wedge between the opposition - between those who's objections are a (deliberately fostered) confusion that 'gay marriage' will force them to alter their religious rituals, and those who are simply homophobic haters who sincerely wish to keep homosexuals as second class citizens, and would probably be happier if they were all criminalized instead.
