It's so God damn easy I don't get why no one thought of this yet. I posted this earlier a few months back but I think it was ignored. Before you start flaming me for my warped view of reality, at least read the whole thing
Give Civil Unions the same benefits as Marriage, and let Heterosexual couples be allowed to have Civil Unions. That would eliminate any "Separate but Equal" bullshit out of the water. But wait, there's more! Legalize Gay Marriage across the country, but let individual churches choose whether or not to accept the marriages. If Gay couples really wanted marriage they should have no problem finding a small local church to hold their wedding, and if they cant find a church to approve of it, there is always a Government equivalent with the same benefits.
Bam! Boom! Solved. Where's my medal?

I can change your words and add races into the fray and it would be similar to the 1960's Civil Right issues. The current situation is not separate but equal, because it is not equal at all in theory, or in practice! -Taking the words from neo-conservative HM Rob, "the left doesn't compromise" is stupid, for the reasons above. -The gay marriage debate is a stepping stone to defeating other forms of inequality.
