That is your Opinion, nothing more. Mine is that in the spirit of tolerance, I totally support Civil Unions, by any name, except one.

I think if you gave up on the term, you would see a major part of your opposition vaporize. Hey, that's just me though, still, it speaks volumes to the intent of those in your ranks. Maybe something better brought out in Counseling.Other than personal biases against gays, there is no public interest in preventing people of the same sex from marrying
