would the people who are against gay marriage (because marriage should be between man and women) be accepting and vote yes for Domestic Partnership (all the rights two people should have as a couple, reguardless of sex, but without it being called marriage) ???
Basically, this is all that is wanted... basic rights. The idea of marriage, at least in name, seems to be the thing people object to.
So... if we call it something differant, like Domestic Partnership, would that be good enough for the people that are threatened by gay marriage, to vote yes to give equal rights to all Americans?
And to the gay/lesbian folks, would calling it something different, but getting what you want, be acceptable?
*** Keep in mind domestic partnership is already an option for straight couples, who do not wish to be married, yet want all the rights and benifits of marriage, for whatever reason, such as the decision to take thier partner off of life support (Living Will) and inheritance
