As for me I really don't care what it is called as long as we have the same rights as any couple.Now we can fill secure that if something happens to the other that the one left behind will be taken care of,just like a hetero couple would.
Being from the U.S. I fill that if they would follow the plan of the U.K. all of this would be excepted by americans more so than pushing for "marriage". The problem I see is that most of americans don't even know what the U.K. plan is becouse the U.S. Gov doesn't want them to know.If the Gov keeps the marriage issue in the spot light it makes us look like we are trying to steal
something that they hold sacrite, and suits there agenda to keep gays from the rights they should have.
I disagree, all any politician will have to do is bring up the case in New Jersey or Vermont where they have civil unions and the "homosexual activists"(the ones from the other thread no doubt) are pushing for full marriage. It's stuff like that that makes me proud that my state passed an amendment banning anything, because if civil unions won't solve the issue, then I'll just as well grant nothing to save the aggravation.
