		<description>"Anonymity matters to me."  You're right.  Sometimes we don't know until we reach the pressure point then it drowns us.</description>

		<description>Both sides want to keep this issue out front. If they did not, it could be solved immediately.  This is a "church vs state" issue and the constitutional mandate of separateness applies.  Marriage is an event sanctified/recognized/instituted by the church.  A civil union is a legality recognized/instituted by the state. The states should allow civil unions with all the rights and responsibilities regardless of whom one is married to, and those who want to be married in a church that will marry them should be allowed to.

No, there is more going on here than a simple "yes/no" or "up/down" vote on same-sex marriage.  Both sides want this to stay on the front burner or they lose their sense of importance.</description>
