Who really loses if we had civil unions?

The people who say that recognizing same-sex unions will destroy society.

You see, many people here are dreading May 17, because same-sex marriages will be legal in the state of Massachusetts. They're upset by this because once it stops, there's no way to stop it until the 2006 vote to change the state constitution. As such, there will be two years where same-sex marriages are legal in at least one state. They fear that in the wake of these unions, absolutely nothing bad will happen. Divorce rates won't skyrocket, spousal abuse won't go up, children won't be abused and/or neglected, no court will rule that adult-child sexual relations are legal or that polygamous unions must be recognized. The seas won't boil, the sky won't fall, we won't have massive earthquakes, floods, famine, locusts or plagues. Life will go on as normal.

In other words, everything that they have predicted will fail to come to pass, and rational people will realise that the arguments against same-sex marriage never had any merit in the first place.

So you see, it's a matter of pride. We can't let same-sex marriage become legal, or all of the people opposing it will end up looking foolish.

You forgot to mention the dramatic increase of homosexual indoctrination which will be mandated in schools, far beyond what is already occurring. This in itself is an abrogation of the freedom of religion. How far will the infringements on free speech and freedom of religion go? In the EU and Canada, it's already started.

"As the rest of us brace for the onslaught of homosexual “marriage”....

That quote describes the way I feel. I don't know if I have the stomach to watch TV next week and listen to the lies and spin. I still have nightmares about the vitriol spewed by Rosie O'Donnell while standing on the courthouse steps in San Francisco.
