I think the concept of "civil unions" was presented wrongly. The civil union should be the contract between two people, regardless of orientation, who agree to co-habitate, combine incomes and expenses, and have power of attorney in the case of emergency etc.
This really is the only thing that the federal, or state government should recognize, "Marriage" is simply a ceremony with no legal standing. C.
