...explain the anti-gay-marriage proposals that passed
in several of these states, then.  (Unless these
people would prefer that "marriage", as a term, be
removed from government control, though civil unions
could be recognized.  But I heard that at least one of
the proposals specifically banned civil unions between
members of the same gender as well.)
