Would most same-sex couples be satisfied with civil unions creating the same rights and obligations that are found in traditional marriages and that are recognized in all states? It would be a marriage, short the name. I know that some argue that it won't be truly equal rights for same-sex couples until they can marry, but what difference does it really make if the same-sex coupling is called a civil union instead of a marriage, at least in legal terms. I sometimes wonder if the battle over same-sex marriages is as much about acceptance as it is about equal rights.
