Illinois senator said he supports extending "fully equal rights and benefits to same-sex couples under both state and federal law."

How does that conflict with the states allowing or disallowing gay marriage?
I heard him say in a speech that you can call it something else so religious groups won't get offended, but give gay couples equal protection under the law for whatever they want to call their (cohabitative) relationship.
