For those who say they support civil unions, but not same sex marriage, why? I just don't get it.
My objections, in no particular order:
1) Though it varies by state, civil unions rarely provide all the benefits of marriage.
2) Seperate is never equal. Would YOU be satisfied with second class status?
3) How is the same sex marriage debate any different from the interracial controversy of yesteryear?
I know we have to take baby steps, but it's frustrating. I try to assume ignorance on the part of people who take this position, because the only alternative is that they're deliberately peeing on our boots and calling it rain.
So, a few educational articles:
Difference Between Civil Unions & Marriage
A Primer On Same-Sex Marriage, Civil Unions, Domestic Partnerships, & Defense Of Marriage Acts
Marriage Is More Than A Civil Union
Let's try to keep this civil, folks. I know it's a hot button issue, but I really am trying to understand.
