Most civil unions are business related. Civil unions are just contracts that give partners specific rights. In Louisiana, where the law is Napoleon based law, civil unions can be stronger than marriage unions. In fact gays would be better served by forming a civil union. Homosexuals have not thought about some of the problems that they will have if they get divorce, or if their partner dies ( especially if the partner has living children). Liberals never think of the consequences of their folly.
I shall never consider two gays to be married. I will not participate in their perversion.
