Posted by Dale Carpenter: A 90% solution? http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_09_09-2007_09_15.shtml#1189656589
David Blankenhorn, who came out against gay marriage in his recent book The Future of Marriage, [1]now says he favors giving same-sex couples "90% civil unions." Under his proposal, gay couples would get all the rights and benefits of marriage under federal and state law -- but he would leave state laws (whatever they currently are) untouched on questions related to same-sex parenting. This is a big step for a prominent opponent of gay marriage. Blankenhorn is breaking the almost uniform silence among gay-marriage opponents on the question of what to do to meet the needs of gay families.
