[QUOTE="soberups, post: 852745, member: 14668"] Civil unions will not be equal to marriages until same-sex couples can inherit each others Social Security and pension benefits. This would require recognition of civil unions on a Federal level. You can call it a "marriage" or a "civil union" or whatever you want [I]as long as its equal[/I]. Until it is [I]equal[/I], it is [I]unfair[/I]. The gay couples that I know could really care less what sort of "label" is placed upon their relationship by those who disagree with them; for them it is an issue of [I]economic fairness[/I]. They are paying the [I]same[/I] amount of money into a system that will give them [I]fewer[/I] benefits solely by virtue of the fact that the number of penises in that relationship equals two or zero instead of one. That is [I]discrimination[/I], plain and simple. [/QUOTE]
