[QUOTE="soberups, post: 798055, member: 14668"] My sister is gay. She and her spouse could quite frankly care less whether their relationship is labeled by others as a "marriage" or a "civil union". What matters to them is the fact that they cannot take advantage of the Federal tax rate available to legally married couples, nor are they eligible to benefit from each others Social Security even though they are paying the same amount into the system. And these benefits are arbitrarily denied to them solely due to the fact that neither of them owns a penis. That is discrimination, plain and simple. What needs to happen is that civil unions should be granted the same financial benefits as marriages. Then whatever name you decide to attach to that relationship becomes irrelevant. [/QUOTE]
