This is the position of many Democratic legislators on both the state and federal levels in the United States. It is a moderate position that is slowly losing popularity as more and more public officials move towards the progressive end of the spectrum, after realizing that the only purpose of creating a new status called "civil union" which is identical to marriage is to segregate people according to sexual orientation. At one time, this was the position of President Barack Obama, but he has since "fully evolved" on the issue.
