These headlines are misleading, but we are getting closer to this Civil Unions amendment.
Still one more vote ahead. That's the one that counts. Every success up to this point has included the support of people opposed to the amendment that voted for it as a parliamentary maneuver.
I predict it will pass, but we do not know yet.

I think the Gay movement is getting more than they ever dreamed of in civil unions. They've played this masterfully. While they would've loved full marriage rights, I think even they knew this was too much to ask. But as a good salesman, they asked for it a lot, knowing they'd be offered a little less, but still getting what they wanted without a real fight. Heck, most people were against civil unions...but now were "giving" it to them because Gay marriage is just too much. Bravo!

Hasn't the Mass S.C. already said that a "civil union" wouldn't "cut-it?"
