Although civil unions are better than nothing, I don't consider them a move toward equality, but a move toward prolonging inequality. |
More precisely, civil unions are simply a re-statement of what was already available to homosexuals, or anyone else, in most states.
It is simply a collection of legal conveniences, something to be filed in the financial folder, next to the will and the life insurance policy.
Thankfully, we have successfully defended the attack on traditional marriage by homosexual militants |
