Society will certainly crumble and civilization as we know it will come to an end when homosexuals are allowed to inherit the property of their partners /sarcasm.
I am against calling it marriage, but who the heck cares if these people want to make a committment to one another and share health insurance. I mean if they would just let it be at civil unions (excluding adoption rights) there is no reason anyone should care.

Hold on - sharing health insurance costs in connection with people who have AIDS? Let’s suppose one domestic partner works for a medium-sized company that offers health insurance for “domestic partners”. Now the company has a choice. Do they cut back on health insurance for all employees because of the “domestic partner” with AIDS? Do they eliminate health insurance altogether? Do they charge all employees more for health insurance because of the domestic partner? Remember that we all end up paying eventually.
As far as civil unions go, you know that gay rights activists are not going to stop there. I’ve posted this quote before, and I’m posting it again:
Michelangelo Signorile, Out magazine, Dec/Jan, 1994, page 1-D.
He advocates:
fight(ing) for same-sex marriage and its benefits and then, once granted, redefin(ing) the institution of marriage completely, to demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to societys moral codes but rather to debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic institution that as it now stands keeps us down. The most subversive action lesbians and gay men can undertake - and one that would perhaps benefit all of society - is to transform the nation of family entlrely.
