Comments on: Phoenix Takes a Step Toward Equality http://gayconservative.org/2008/12/18/phoenix-takes-a-step-toward-equality/ Resource for Gay Conservatives Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:34:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: John in CA http://gayconservative.org/2008/12/18/phoenix-takes-a-step-toward-equality/#comment-4903 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 16:35:02 +0000 http://gayconservative.org/?p=1114#comment-4903 This is how the battle is won. Step by step. Where I live we got what you all have years ago. It eventually lead to statewide Registered Domestic Partners. RDP in California does not provide any Federal law protection. This is not a good thing. But it does provide every protection California can give. It is also a step towards Federal protection.

All of the above happened with very little fanfare, very little opposition, and the people accepted it.

I get raked a lot when I say this and I don’t care. Calling your partnership with someone else a legal Marriage won’t make you feel good about yourself. If it did then married straight men and women would all have high self esteem.

Sadly there is a radical element in the gay community that gets into a big row over what to call something. They get this way for all the wrong reasons. These self loathers need to know the government can’t fix their self esteem.

It also solidifies the exit polling done in many places that gay marriage has been on the ballot – that such measures would have passed (even, apparently, when on the ballot in Oklahoma!) if it were termed “civil union”.
