I would have defended this as a viable solution and is what should have been done 20 years ago, but the turbo-Christians that control the religious right would have none of it because of their adherence to a hatred stemming from OT prohibitions while ignoring a myriad of other OT laws. Instead, after consulting their WWJD bracelets, they decided to be true Christians and denigrate and demean a subset of our population based on a natural characteristic. The reason we got to where we are today is precisely because civil unions were still too distasteful for the bigots. They only have themselves to blame.
