a REAListic compromise on the 'gay marriage' issue?
Advertisements [?]
so the problem as I see it is that neither sides wants a compromise i.e. both sides want an all or none solution.....

now the word marriage has historically always been defined as the union between a man and a woman so I think changing the historical definition of a word to suit a "PC" agenda is lunacy, however, homosexuals should not be discriminated against and should have every right to a legal union as much as heterosexuals....so I was trying to think a some sort of compromise that both sides should be able to agree on and I thought why not just have 2 legal terms that are based ONLY on the sexual preference of the people involved i.e.

1-heterosexual marriage and 2-homosexual marriage

I would argue that anyone that has a problem with that solution is proving themself to be an extremist.
