I don't know... it is depending on your POV. It is also a matter of choice. In the end, if you want to be with someone, you'll just do that. And really, do you think that it will all come to realization? Think on these two words : Electionary Year. He wants to gain some votes with those who are on the conservative/ religious side.
Personally I don't like the prospect of gays going to a church to ask a father/priest to do a wedding ceremony, under threat of jail because it would be considered prejudice if he doesn't want to (that is an extreme example, but it happened twice here in PR).
I don't know, the institution of a family, as I see it is the union of a man and a woman. Physically men are incompatible with their own and, the same can be said about women. I am not the homophobic type, but I fimly believe that a line that defines the meaning of a family must be drawn. I love women anyway.
