But I think what's missing from the discussion is that very few states in the union will even allow civil unions - something that many on the right decry as a "slippery slope to immorality and gay marriage". In fact, far more states have statutes banning civil unions than those that allow even a limited level of civil union. But maybe the Family Research Council is right. It could be more practical to pass civil unions in every state and hopefully the lack of a rapture or catastrophic natural disaster will help sway most Americans towards ultimately a pro-gay marriage position.
