"It sure sounds to me like he supports same-sex civil unions, with all the rights and benefits of marriage, that are literally marriage in all but name (sort of like Mitt Romney is a Democrat in all but party name). He just opposes calling that “marriage.”"

"I do not favor marriage between people of the same gender, and I do not favor civil unions if they are identical to marriage other than by name"

“I do not favor marriage between people of the same gender, and I do not favor civil unions if they are identical to marriage other than by name”

-Romney

Let’s just say he’s not credible on that. He admits he wants homosexuals to have “domestic partnership benefits, hospital visitation rights and the like.” He also thinks homosexual couples should be able to adopt children and clearly supports civil unions so long as they aren’t “identical” to marriage.

Civil unions, domestic partner benefits (taxes, insurance, etc), hospital visitation rights, adoption, and the like. So how is this not marriage in all but name?????
