Rudy is pro-gay. Rudy is a gun grabber, Rudy is a liberal first class. The reason you aren't "going to do his homework(stm's)for him" is because Rudy is all the stm says, and more and you have no way to prove otherwise. A few speeches made now to try to cover his ass doesn't mean he has changed. You can't be for abortion and against it. He has clearly laid out how he stands on firearms, abortion and his other left of center(and has stated he is left of clinton on some matters)ideas. A true RINO in every sense of the word. Try not to lie any more than you have to, ok?
Civil unions are marriages without the word marriage. A rose by any other name. That's why the in states like Virginia our marriage protection act explicitly includes civil unions as prohibited, under a clause preventing anybody from enacting marriage but simply changing the name.
The harm is in having government provide special benefits of partnership to gay people. That harm exists whatever you call it. of course, if you don't think there is anythign wrong with gay sex, you might support civil unions like Rudy does.
