Facts about where civil unions are legal:
States that have made civil unions legal, including Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Vermont, have granted state benefits to same-sex couples. These include state tax benefits, better access to family health plans, co-parenting privileges, automatic preference for guardianship and decision-making authority for a medically incapacitated partner, as well as protection under state divorce and separation laws. .
That only leaves 46 more states to go.
So in the situation I presented a few posts back, one has an 8% chance for a favorable outcome.

you can see why homosexuals are upset at the states' decisions concerning their well-being and lives.
Now, after all 50 states legalize civil unions, AND legalize gay marriage will justice be served.
I don't get why Christians think they can put a monopoly on the word 'marriage'. Also, marriage is just an abstract concept that makes people feel good inside. A treaty is only worth the paper it was signed on, and the same goes for marriage; I don't see why people are so butt-hurt that homosexuals just want the same benefits, and it seems the only way for these benefits to manifest is IF gay marriage becomes legal.
They also want to stop being discriminated against, called sodomites, sinners, evil doers, etc. They also want all those fanatical churches to start spending more time on charity for the sick, friendless and the poor rather than spending every sunday harping about democrats, pro-choice politicians and homosexuality....
How much time in the Bible do we hear Jesus talking about democrats, homosexuals and abortion? none! lol but he did speak ALOT about acceptance and forgiveness.
