Can anyone explain the difference for me between gay marriage and civil unions? I'm not into nuance as Kerry and Edwards are.

Can anyone explain the difference for me between gay marriage and civil unions?

From what I understand, they'll have all the legal protections with the cu's but they want the title of married.

Civil union sounds so much more enlightened and dare I say "less religious?" than homosexual or same sex marriage, a true abomination.

Instead of a "ahppy" marriage, shall we wish one another a "gay" marriage?

I hate the hijacking of the word "gay" to describe homosexuals, don't you?
