Maybe, just maybe, they're finally getting smart.
The ones who are firmly against it understand the limited effect of
the "punt" and the ones who are ambivalent (probably most) understand
there is no advantage to saying anything.
Personally, I am still not sure why marriage is a government function
in the first place. People are "married before God" and everything
else is simple contract law. Why not just have the government manage
the civil union, just like they do partnerships, incorporation,
property transfers and child custody issues?
In that regard, any 2 or more people should be able to enter into a
civil union. If they are going to hell for it, let the churches deal
with it. It is none of the government's business.
I cannot understand why anyone gives a tinker's dam about how or with
who consenting adults pair up.
