How many members of Congress are in favor of gay marriage instead of being in favor of civil unions? I'm under the impression that it is a very small percentage. Were any of the potential Dem candidates in favor of gay marriage instead of civil unions? I think that the original post on this thread is very misleading. It praises Obama for being a champion of gay marriage, but his official position is in favor of civil unions. What are your thoughts on the following questions:

Q1. A more insightful question would be how to make gay marriage legal. What's the pathway toward legalization?
A1.

Q2. Is relying on the state Supreme Courts good enough? That path has proven fruitful (e.g. CA this year), but at this rate it'll take another 100 years before most states have gay marriage as legal.
A2.

Q3. Do people want the Dem Congress to push for a gay marriage bill or amendment after the election? I don't know if there would be enough support for it. There are two many conservative Democrats who wouldn't risk their political livelihood for this cause.
A3.

Q4. What are people's position on other types of marriage, e.g. polygamy?
A4.
