I care because a small group of people decided to say no to a step foward like Civil Unions and now Gays have nothing to show for their effort.
They could've had civil unions like Obama, Clinton, and Pelosi promised, but I bet they wouldn't even touch the issue now that Americans are in disgust over the entire gay marriage ordeal.
Civil unions had a chance to pass on a "National level"? Civil Unions were only allowed in a handful of states (east coast/west coast). I doubt that you would find serious discussion or approval of civil unions in alabama. On the contrary, polls have found that the rational discussion of legal same sex marriage has brought more ppl to side with it. As the older voters die over time, it is inevitable that marriage will be available for all Americans who seek its protections and responsibilities. There is nothing wrong with wanting to sit at the front of the bus.
We have something called a Congress and President to can pass laws that the states have to accept. Majority of Americans were ready for Civil Unions before hard head stubborn gays took the movement to the left.
Gay bash? I voted against banning Civil Unions and Gay Marriage in the State of Florida. I may be against gay marriage, but I certainly believe it's not the State or Country's place to constitutionally ban it. I also believe that gays should be able to have the same benefits that marriage offers. Civil Union is the same as marriage except for the name.

If we all followed the Bible, this world would be a much better place to live in. I'd rather get my moral directions from the Creator of the universe than animals or other humans.
Let me help you. This is from a Newsweek poll taken earlier this month:
"Fifty-five percent of respondents favored legally sanctioned unions or partnerships, while only 39 percent supported marriage rights. Both figures are notably higher than in 2004, when 40 percent backed the former and 33 percent approved of the latter."
Not at all. You must not be paying attention to the news. Most Americans are in favor of civil unions.
Yes I watch the news, and even on MSNBC I saw a report saying Americans were turning against Civil Unions.
