What the hell is the difference between a civil union and a marriage?

If they're the same damn thing, then why two terms?

Look at how outraged you are are of the sudden John. Only when Barrack Obama took office did gay rights become such a life or death issue for you. Never mind they have more marital rights then ever before.

gay rights have been an issue for me long before obama was elected

you do realize i have a family member whose openly gay right?

Marriage is a religious sacrament. There already is gay marriage in some faux churches. Civil Unions are just that... civil unions.
