Utah Gov. Comes out in Favor of Civil Unions

Recently, the Mormon, Republican governor of Utah decided to come out publicly in favor of Civil Unions for non-married couples. He was ridiculously popular, and appears to have only taken a minor hit to become still really, damn popular with voters.

While I think Civil Unions are at best a half measure, on the way to true equality for all married couples, I'm glad to see Gov. Huntsman step out like this. If we can bring conservatives to the "moderate" position of Civil Unions, I think it'll be easier to bring the public as a whole to the just position of marriage equality.

It will help that Gov. Huntsman is moving in that direction. Hopefully we'll see a better future for everyone.
