A last word on a GLBT Thread I started earlier...

whole thing here:http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5183373&mesg_id=5183373

I'd like to thank the many who responded, and apologize to the several I offended. I can see it was a bad idea, but it WAS one hell of an education for me!

1. Glad to know that you got your answer.

Also glad that your question was honest.

3. Thanks,

I'd hitherto thought CU's weren't such a bad idea - shows how wrong one can be.
Add it to my LONG track record for such.

4. I appreciate your question and your effort in finding clarification...

I couldn't find in this OP or in the other thread, however, what your conclusion is; the answer to your question.

As regards the word "marriage" what are your findings?

Best, NYC_SKP

5. to answer your question...

I would have to say that it seems Gays & Lesbians WILL go to the mat for marriage. As was explained to me late in the thread, much of the non-Religious Right opposition to allowing marriage as opposed to civil unions lies in those opposed wishing to have their heterosexuality held as "special", which would make even the best-crafted CU legislation just another bout of "Separate But Equal". I'm not doing it justice, but that was the gist.
And based on that, I would have to agree that my idea was a non-starter.
