Word Association - How do we feel about Kerry backing separate but equal legal unions for gay couples, granting all 1049 rights of marriage, but not using the word marriage? I have to say, I think I'm okay with it. One generation from now, the people who currently make up the oldest demographic of Americans will no longer be voting, and we'll easily be able to reconcile the marriage issue. In the meantime, *I* could actually take advantage of a legal union, and really, that's what it's all about, isn't it?
