Same-sex what?

I have argued and understand both sides of this issue. However, I really feel I need to set the record straight as I don't think it has been clear. I know I wasn't completely sure at first.

The conservatives are not wanting to abolish the rights nor the unions of gay couples. They merely don't want to call it marriage. I believe they want to call it some sort of union with all the rights and advantages (I call them disadvantages - cynic that I am) of a traditional marriage.

This is a fair compromise that the majority of Canadians can stand behind. There is no right to the title but there are rights to the union, no matter what it's called.

P.S. No name calling is required or requested....
