Moderate Republicans are looking for compromise on the gay marriage issue by proposing to strengthen the civil unions law to make it more difficult for it to be ignored.
The problem is that the only way to strengthen civil unions is to allow same-sex marriage or to remove the word marriage from the statute books altogether, turning all marriages into civil unions. Tweaking what has proven to be a flawed compromise with an equally flawed compromise is just a waste of time.
Marriage equality now.
