"Civil union" is the left's pussified way of dealing with the situation. "Seperate but equal," they say, because that worked so well in the past.
We need a COMPREHENSIVE civil rights amendment or federal act so that non-criminal, tax-paying citizens are afforded the exact same rights as everyone else.
Til then, even the gay rights activists pushing for marriage are just tinkering.

100% agreed. The main issue here is not about the nature of marriage or why people choose to marry. I am gay and I happen to be against marriage for other reasons that transcend how I manage my own sexuality. The issue here is about gays not receiving the same rights as straight couples and my constant concern is that gay rights activists mess around too much on this issue.
