If I read Mr. Kmiec’s and your positions correctly then I think there is a delicious irony here: The unintended consequence of the efforts by opponents of gay marriage – who see it as a threat to “traditional” marriage – is that the state may opt to only recognize civil unions (call them what you will). Anything more – like a church ceremony – will be purely symbolic and have no civil relevance whatsoever. How much do you want to bet that over 5, 10, 15 years the rate of people bothering to go the second step and have the religious ceremony goes down steadily. The fight to keep marriage tied to an outdated (and in my opinion totally wrong) religious interpretation may turn out to be the true threat to marriage.

possible solution to the controversy over same-sex marriage in California

There is no friggin’ controversy, unless you are a homophobic bigot who craps on and denies equal rights to the gay and lesbian citizens of this republic.

These hateful sob’s and disgusting bastards will go the way of the racial segragationist of the last century, onto the ash heap of history. It just might take another generation or 2 to get there.

Kmiec is an anti-gay bigot and Catholic shill who lost all credibility on this issue months ago.
