Difference Between Civil Union and Marriage - Civil Unions vs. Gay Marriage
So fix those few legal issues, and there you go. Instead, gays want to jump on the marriage bandwagon... after beating marriage up as a failed institution, of course.

Simple, because of the children that are produced. Children are the future, nothing else matters to a nation more then the children produced, because they will be the next generation.

Heterosexual marriages now end up with about half ending in divorce and that is without adding the heterosexual marriages in trouble and not in statistics....... They are the ones going for counceling in their droves, not to mention the polce time attending "domestic" dispute or investigating other marital crimes and murders............ looks like heterosexual marriage costs us fortunes and they are the ones we pay for.

You can not deny rights and privileges granted to one citizen that is granted to another.

Glad you think that my partner and I should be allowed to get married, as we have children. Medical science allows people to have children with no sex involved. Many hetero couples get married and never have children.

There is no requirement to have children in order to get married. In fact there are circumstances where the couple has to prove that they can not have children in order to get married.

Like i said, humans are flawed, so your intention is to use the "flawed" argument to malign marriage enough so even gays can climb onborad?

Idiots get married, idiots vote, idiots sign legal contracts, there are a lot of idiots in the world, so does that mean we declare every institution as flawed, because we cite the idiots who engage in them?

I personally believe that laws banning same sex marriage are unconstitutional. Eventually we will be allowed to marry in every state. There is no legal reason to deny the rights, and privileges granted by marriage to same sex couples.

The difference is only one group has the option of marriage if they so choose.
no gay people have every right to marry in any state they just are to stupid to figure out the difference between a man and a woman.
