I said its both, point is simple as the polls for civil unions prove. If you scrub "marriage" from government's lawbooks books and change to civil union, does anything really change? All rights and benefits would be the same, would it not? Its putting the meaning of marriage back where it belongs, between the two individuals.
I really don't have a problem with that. The problem is BOTH sides are so entrenched in marriage, it won't happen. Those that are married don't want to give up that status and those without it, want it.
It should have been done decades ago, however, as you see both sides don't want to push the issue at all in that regard.
