Gay marriage is wrong. What about civil unions? Gay 'marriage' in a strictly legal sense is fine with me.

Same thing my wife and I concluded. They want Civil Unions, okay by me.

Course I phrase it a bit differently.....(grin)

If gays want to experience the joy and wonder of Divorce, who am I to deny them that exquisite pleasure?

Just a thought.....

civil unions was a vermont backdoor solution to getting out of the courts imposing homosexual marriage. This is why the mass court was very specific is saying civil unions would not do.

Civil unions have been rejected in the courts of at least four states. (FL, GA, TX, CT)

Additionally Civil Unions do not rise to federal recognition and do not gain social security or immigration benefits.

Civil union laws are pointless. 100% of what they do can be achieved by a cohabitation contract. These have been around for decades, they are open to all, and enforcable by the courts.

It allows a leagal agreement/contract between recreational sex partners regarless of sexual mental illness.
