    In a nutshell (for the real 'dummies' out there) it says that separate is inherently unequal. There are many rights granted automatically to a married couple that don't apply to those in civil unions, such as portability, federal recognition and benefits, the ability to be divorced in any state, and a general understanding by the public, particularly in the health care and probate areas, of what benefits are provided to a partner in a civil union versus a marriage.

    But I guess you know better than the Supreme Court of the United States. You'd better let President Obama know that you'll be ready to take Justice Kennedy's seat when he finally kicks or you risk being looked over for someone with, you know, actual legal knowledge and experience.

    Also, stop trying to force straight people to accept gay marriage. You want to have a wedding? Go rent a reception hall, invite your friends and family, and do it.

    By the way, two dudes or two girls fucking is not the same thing as a man and a woman shacking up. Accept reality and stop deluding yourselves you stupid fucks. The more you force the "=" crap on people with any sense, the more backlash you're going to encounter.
    This is your first post ever after years of lurking? Some people should really just stay silent.

    I lived in Canada which legalized it over 7 years ago without a fuss, and that country isn't being destroyed because of the evil gay marriage being legal.

    I moved to Iceland, where it was legalized many years ago and our current prime minister is a Lesbian.

    US needs to join the modern world and give rights to all its citizens.

    Thanks for all the great responses!
    Its interesting that all those who claim they don’t want federal civil unions and support “States Rights” also support federal discrimination laws and want federal courts to decide the fate of GLTB community. So which is it? Do you want federal laws or not??

    Stands on : I say let there be a federal law on civil unions and let each individual state decide on weather it will support full on GLTB marriage.
