The smart thing to do
would be to focus on simply obtaining civil union rights equal to marriage rights. It's the word marriage that is causing this backlash.
Unfortunately, the push for "gay marriage" will continue, the invective and vitriol will only get worse on both sides, and homosexuals will end up with less progress toward equal rights. A lot of middle-of-the-road voters, who would probably have otherwise voted for civil unions, will hear the accusations and verbal garbage being tossed at straight people and think "fine, screw you then. you get nothing."
Score remains: 49-1
