I agree, that's actually why I (personally) wished that the GLBT community, as well as other non-traditional families had pursued a different tactic.
1) You create a specific religious/spiritual union ceremony, call it a Theodos ceremony for example.
2) You then put your collective political and social effort into establishing that this union (which is unique to your culture) be granted the same rights and recognitions as a marriage.
3) Once this is done you have established precident that the religious (or social) institution of "marriage" is separate from the legal/civil institution.

The irony here is that the idea of seperate states of "marriage" is the argument from "moderates" on the right. Despite the fact that it would likely to more to "undermine marriage" than gay marriages will.

You are absolutely correct. I have known for quite some time that I will probably always be in the minority in my views on mainstreaming. And I'm fine with that. After all, every culture needs a dissenting opinion, and I am forever grateful that I have the freedom to voice that dissent.

Listen to me, I've been listening to too many campaign ads.
