I may be wrong, but it does seem that those who are willing to support civil unions usually offer one or more of these reasons:

1. It's going to happen anyway.

2. The government should not be involved in this issue.

3. It can be limited and controlled if we allow it.

There seems to be a complete inability to recognize the classic "slippery slope" in accepting civil unions between homosexuals. Of course, that leads us to:

4. The genitally mutilated are accepted as "transgendered", although they are nothing of the kind, and are considered "heterosexual" and may be eligible to marry.

5. Polygamy and virtually any other kind of marital or civil partnership now seems legally impossible to oppose given the above.

The goal on the part of those who are promoting civil unions is not civil unions. It is marriage and the affirmation of the state and society.

The libertarians who advocate this are typically anarchists who actually welcome the collapse of civilization.

Concur.

And let’s legalize more drugs, and not just alcohol, nicotine, and white sugar, for the same reasons.
