Reply #1: Anyone promoting Civil Unions over Marriage is missing the whole point IMO [View All]

Separate is never equal - when people say gays can get the same rights via civil unions no only are they wrong they are advocating for legal segregation of a group of people. This is un American. We all should be allowed the same rights and privileges under the same law.

Civil Unions for all is a fantasy that will never happen in America - besides the cost involved in re-writing the laws to reflect the language change the is no way the majority of Americans will ever give up marriage for Civil Unions. 48.5% of the voters voted for Gay Marriage - most people dont realize this but in CA if only 250K voters voted the other way marriage would still be available to all citizens in CA - there are 30 million people in the state - thats how close it is.
